Ive had this camera for about 4yr, it has always performed great. But i recently tried to take a picture of a nail under the liner of my friends pool. The picture went black and all i could do was turn it off. So i tried to take a video, the view screen starts then freezes! I can't even power it off. The only thing to do is remove the battery. The battery is fully charged, its the same 16gb sd card that i have used for some time.
I seen on here there was a similar problem about a year ago, so its not uncommon, i'm guessing.
Thanks
Paul
