WB850F Has seized

I am learning the functions of my new camera. I have successfully installed the updated firmware on it. I was trying the red eye function. I took a picture in 'P' mode and then pressed the playback button. The screen went out, the green light stayed on, the lens are extended and I am unable to switch the camera off by using the power button.

What can I do from here?

Samsung WB850F

Try to take out the battery, wait a few seconds and put it in again.
Normally it reset your camera.
Hope it helps!

It appears to have fixed it. I will have another play with it tonight. Thank you.

My WB850F would lock up too when I did not install the firmware upgrade properly.

Everything seemed to go as it should have with the firmware install. The camera turned itself off as the instructions said it would. The GPS sorted itself when I turned it on again.
How did you reinstall the firmware; just overwrite what was on it?
