My Camera are total dead. What can be wrong?
I have tried a new batteri, but it did not help?
This camera is excelalent creating great, sharp photos.
Need troubleshooting. Does not turn on, charging light on, pilot green flashing more than half an hour. I remove connector but on button doesn’t turn camera on. Spare battery also acts dead while fully charged (in camera of course) camera responds as if ok when I connect charger.
