DP1s weird operation
DP1s weird operation
Dec 23, 2012
I've had my DP1s for about 3 years. Not over-used it but always was reliable. Yesterday I switched it on and the lens extended as normal but all was shown on the LCD were the current settings text. No view showing. Also the camera locked up. Nothing would shift it. After removing the battery (fully charged) and replacing it, the lens was still locked extended and now nothing was showing on the LCD. As it would not do anything I just left it resting on the lens end. later I found it now retracted and switching it on it seemed to be working normally. But later, on switching it on, the lens extended but again, just settings shown on LCD. Also there was a whirring noise and slight vibration which suggested the lens motor was still running and the extension was not quite completed. Again removing batt and replacing just left it dead. And again after leaving it for ten minutes or so it retracted itself and seems once again to be back to normal. But I am expecting it to fail again after being on for a few minutes
Can anyone throw a light on this problem?
Thanks
