Camera Just Stopped Taking Pictures
The camera turns on fine, but all of a sudden the button you press down to take a picture isn't working anymore. It depresses down to focus and then nothing happens. No settings were changed and I looked in them to see if anything looked suspicious. It appears like something is preventing it to take a picture.
