Problems taking pictures

Hi

I have a problem taking pictures sometimes. I press the shutter button (i think its called that?) halfway to focus and then down some more and sometimes the camera doesn't respond. It just beeps. Not sure why. Doesn't happen that often but often enough for me to miss a picture which is annoying.

Anyone have any clues?

Cheers,

Neil
 
Hello Neil and welcome on board!

What camera are we talking about? I suspect it's GX200? I had similar problem with my first GX200 sample unit so Ricoh replaced it with another one. It seems there is a problem with shutter contacts. I found that this problem occurs if the finger pressure is not entirely in the middle of the shutter button (in other words, you if you press the shutter more on its right or left edge). Sometimes it takes the photo after a sec or so, sometimes it does not take the photo at all. So I'm afraid, if it's your case, your only hope is to send your camera for repair.
