I have had my camera for over a year. It is a Samsung , 3.2 mega pixel, Digimax 301. Takes great pix and has tons of features for such an inexpensive camera.

Suddenly, it will NOT work!! It will take the little movies, but that is it. The green light that usually comes on solid is now flashing constantly beside the eye viewfinder. When i press the button to take the pix, ti just lets out a long bbbbbbbbbbeeeeep or a series of them and will not take.

I have tried new batteries, different kind of batteries, no memory card, two different types of memory cards. changing all settings, restoring them all. I have used the batteries and memory cards in another camera and it worked just fine.

Help!! I model and this is all I have to do test shoots with to submit my work.

Have you tried re-booting? Take out the batteries and leave them out until the camera looses track of the date/time and all of the other settings. Might not work, but worth a try.
