Hi Bob...welll what can I say but thanks for your fix....I live in Australia and was about to take it into a camera shop to get the bad news of how much it would cost to get it fixed..in fact i had already started looking for what i could replace it with....yes.. what you said about it being a defect but not coming clean is not a good company policy... anyway...glad i went on google and got your fix... thanks again...my cousins use to live in pittsburg and i remember good times visiting good old PA! thanks again from the land downunder Joan

I'd just like to thank Bob for posting this 'fix'. I love how technology responds to the right input XD it worked like a charm on my S40, thanks and sunny vibes from brazil :)

Thank-you so much! I've had this camera for a few years and wasn't ready to give up on it just yet, especially because I bought a memory card for it a few months ago. I can now take pictures again!!!

thanks it works!! god i am relieved...

Thank you SO much! I can't believe it was that easy. How in the world did you ever figure this out?

Wow.. it really worked for me. You saved me to bring my camera to Sony the costly service place in the world. I hold the camera in left hand turned its lens towards facing me and i tapped 3 to 4 times on the cyber-shot logo and it worked.. Horrayyyyyyyy....

Hello, I have this problem with my Casio Exilim Z750. Where would you suggest that I tap the exilim? Thank you for any information. H

Much as everyone else has said, thank you immensely! This has happened several times, and it had somehow rectified itself (i probably jostled the thing by mistake and got it working) -- now I know what to do with the darn thing! You're a lifesaver dude
