: If you ever get messages like that, it is not a good thing.First of all, I would check the troubleshooting guide in the back of the manual. What does it say the error message means?Other than that, all you can do is just make sure there is a fresh battery in there.Does the camera still work?
Hi ...
It can most likely be repaired . the flexing of the flat wire inside the lens assy(there are two flat cables one of which runs the shutter and reads the film type installed)breaks and the microcontroller cannot read the correct position .
if your camera runs and gives bizzar exposure the second cable maybe breaking also. It appears that a compentent shop can do it for approx $90 U.S.
Good luck
Hugh
