Yes, it has a major problem -it gets stuck on a "formatting" mode and even if you follow all prompts, you cannot take photos. How does one get over this?

I ended up returning mine to Nikon to be fixed under warranty. They gave me a credit to either replace it or get a different camera.

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

Did you try doing a format? It could be it can't read your card until you format it for the camera.

Hi,I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I figured out the aperture mode. This seems to be where the HS10 can take decent pictures. NOT pleased with exr auto, that is a crap shoot. So I am still so confused as to what camera is right for me. So frustrating. Still need to try the video as well. Oh, the free sony software was easier to use. I am having so many problems with SilkyPics. sends pics to my windows photo shop poorly, sometimes combining two pictures. GRRR

Sometimes if you "rush" the process, you will find that the camera action "freezes up." Try rebooting the camera by taking the battery out or plugging it in to your computer; anything that might trip or signal the mechanism. Don't push or force it, of course. If it locks-up often, then obviously, there are problems with the camera. I bought the insurance offered through Amazon, just for such circumstances.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

Sorry, I can't help. I bought this camera for a vacation that got postponed. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. :(

Yes it.in the menu but first put camera in photo mode .go to menu then Date Code make sure date code is off .Remember it have to be in photo mode for the menu to come up. If that don,t work you have a problem with the camera. Hope that helped.

The reason I gave up entirely on this camera was that, unfortunately, I was 100% unable to reach the seller for ANY kind of support notwithstanding repeated attempts (although none recently). The product appeared well conceived, but I also had setup problems. Hope you eventually get a response, but I'm not optimistic.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

I don't have that problem so, cannot really help.....Nikon does have a 'help line' try there???

I threw away the camera 4 or 5 years ago after one year use. The camera could not be turned on to take photos. It will cost me more to repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

They still can't help you on this?? I mean they made the product, there are people out there that still have it, they should support it. I know it doesn't help you now, and I hate to say, I can't even help you. I was having issues with mine, and it ended up freezing on one pic, so I've since unplugged it. Good luck, I hope someone can give you an answer.

I have never had the problem you have described. Try pulling out the memory card. You may have a bad card.

My sister and I both had this camera and we had the same problem. I think that once you start having issues with this camera there is no going back. I would just upgrade. We never figured out why the glitch occurred.
