I am not sure why this has happened as I have had the camera since Christmas. I used it on xmas eve without a mem card and then put one in for nye. Got a load of pictures and looked at them over and over. Days later we went for a walk and look it with me. When I went to take a picture the camera almost froze and you could see a faded picture of what had been taken - but it didn;t capture it. We tried several times, but nothing anf turned it off. Now it won't go on. The light flashes once but nothing. I have tried changing the bateries - but nothing. I could send it back but before I do I want to check and see if there is anything that I can do. Please help and sorry for ramble. Jen
