A stuck shutter is a common failure mode for digital cameras. The camera may take black pictures

(for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be bright and overexposed, especially when taken (for

shutter stuck open).

Turn off the LCD screen and

press the DISP or DISPLAY

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Step 3 — Open/Close the Battery Door

After a few seconds open the battery

door then close it again. This will

momentarily interrupt power during

the exposure time.



Repeat the procedure until the

shutter becomes unstuck.
