Device Turns Off After 10 Seconds, Irrespective Of Mode Or Power Source.

My camera turns on and appears to function normally in every way except one.  It turns itself off after ~ 10 seconds.  Turning the power switch to "Off", then back to either "VCR" or "Camera" turns everything back on for another 10 seconds.   What's the deal????
