[QUOTE="nickt, post: 313178, member: 4923"] [b]Re: Camera is malfunctioning[/b] Ok, some questions: 1) In the first picture, on AUTO, did the flash pop up? The flash should pop up automatically for pretty much all indoor shots on Auto. The 1/20 shutter speed does not seem like a speed Auto would choose. Flash should have popped up and a higher shutter speed automatically chosen. This could be a malfunction if you were in Auto or normal behavior if you were mistaken about being in auto. 2) In the 2nd picture, was flash used? The picture looks as expected for the settings shown with no flash. 3) In the 3rd picture, you say it was 'S' mode, but you could not change the shutter speed. This makes no sense. In S mode, you can set the shutter to whatever you want. You likely will not get a good picture, but certainly any shutter speed can be chosen. So please explain what you mean by 'you could not change shutter speed' This could be a camera malfunction if you were in S and could not change the speed. Again, possibly normal behavior if you were mistakenly not in S mode. 4) In the 4th picture, you have a shutter speed of 1/4000. This seems impossible in P mode for an indoor scene. This could be a malfunction if you were in P mode, but normal behavior for other modes. 5) Also in the 4th picture, you say you could not get the flash to pop up. To clarify, are you are pushing the little lightning bolt button on the top side of the camera? If you were pushing the flash button AND you were in P mode, AND the flash did not pop up, this could be a malfunction. Looking back over my questions, we have four possible malfunctions, #1, #3, #4, #5. They could be malfunctions, but these problems could also all be easily explained by you not being in the mode you thought you were in. Does your mode dial feel OK? Is the selected mode pointed to solidly the line at the left of the dial? I think for that 4th all black picture, you would need to have been in S or M to get 1/4000 along with a totally unexposed shot. [/QUOTE]
