Fujifilm Instax Mini Eight: InstaX mini 8 won't take pictures and all orange lights are on

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 07:38:05 -0700

Hi. I have the instax mini 8 Polaroid camera. I went to use it for the 4th time and all of a sudden it doesn't work. When turned on all the orange lights are on the dial not just one, there's a red light by the screen viewer and it won't take any pics. How do I fix this? I emailed Fuji film and they didn't answer

Canon PowerShot A590 IS: Camera indicates low battery and shuts down.

Even with fresh batteries my camera shuts down - lens closes after opening - and the low battery light flashes. Is this a common problem, and is there a fix or workaround? Thanks!

Canon EOS 7D: Camera gets Err 30 message. How do I fix it?

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:58:50 -0700

I get an Err 30 while taking photos. I can shoot 100 or more photos, then Err 30 starts popping up every few tries. I take out the battery, replace it and restart. Usually camera will work for 10-100 more photos.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200: Lens is stuck and camera won't turn on properly?

Sat, 13 Apr 2024 01:33:29 -0700

Basically i was using my camera as usual when the picture went extremely blurry. I turned it off to turn it back on again but the lens stayed out, which it has never done before. It now won't turn on properly, it just shows the 'Cyber-Shot' start screen and the lens is still extended. Really need this fixing as my father not long passed away and this was the last birthday present he ever got me and i also make youtube videos, there are many reasons this camera is important to me and i'd really appreciate any help!

I have taken a few pictures and all of them printed out without a problem, however none of the photos I have taken recently have printed. I'm pretty sure my camera doesn't have any damage or problems!
