Hi-

My camera won't stay powered more than a few seconds and it displayed a system error 0041 code. Any guesses what that code is?

Any help/insights appreciated.

Thanks.

I do see s0041 and s0042 reports come up from time to time. It appears that these are indicative of a failure in the lens mechanism somewhere, and usually shows up very early in this model's life (if you get a lemon).

I'd try to get your vendor to replace it.

FWIW, I also have this camera (I bought a Konica KD-510z in mid-July 2003, and it's the same camera as the Minolta G500).

Mine has been absolutely reliable, and it's been banged around and used a lot (it goes with me everywhere ina pants pocket).
