Olympus Sz-20 Shuts Down 15 Seconds After Entering Review Mode
Whenever I enter review mode, after roughly 15 seconds, the camera beeps a few times and then shuts down. If I am quick enough to go back to normal mode within 15 seconds, nothing weird happens. While shutting down, the display says ''zoom error''. Please not that this error only occurs if I enter review mode.
Batteries are new, and I have even downloaded and installed the updated firmware, which was supposed to fix the problem that the lens cover is not completely closed. In fact, when the camera turns off, typically the lens cover does not close completely.
Unfortunately, my camera is not under warranty anymore.
Thanks!
