Last night I was shooting photos with my Nikon Coolpix P520 and all of a sudden it stopped letting me take pictures. Regardless of how many times I tried to take one it just would not let me.So I tried other buttons such as the menu and nothing.So I tried to power the camera down and got an error saying I can't use that function when the camera is recording. But I was never recording a video.So I wound up taking out the battery and putting it back in. The battery was fully charged on the camera. Tried to turn it back on and nothing. I spent 5 minutes trying to get it to come back on and finally it did. Tried the preview image button and nothing once again.It is like none of the buttons are responding at all. Then I had hell once again trying to get it to power down. Tried connecting it to my pc and my pc read the camera but said nothing was in the files. None of my images or anything. Took out memory card and the images were there. I have maybe had the camera for a week now. And up to this point it has been working great for me. The auto focus can be a tad annoying. I had noticed sometimes it took me a few tries hitting the power button to get it to come on. I just figured maybe I was holding it too long or what not. I am just curious if anyone is having similar issues. I still can return mine to the store but this is making me question wether I tried try a new one or just reget the camera I had and hope this doesn't happen again.
Added (1). It was not low lighting. That was far from the issue. The camera just completely stopped responding to anything I was trying to do from accessing the menu so on so forth. But what I just did was switched the SD cards and now it is working.So maybe my memory card crapped out? I can't see how that would effect the camera and the camera functions though. I couldn't go into menu or do anything.
Added (2). Memory card works perfectly fine in my computer.It is a class 10, 16 gig Duracell.It was working fine in the camera till last night. I just had it back in my pc and it was reading the files perfectly fine. Did a reformat on the card and tried it in camera again and I am litterally unable to do anything. I can't access camera settings or menu or anything at all.
