I had the same problem, and many other people have had this issue. The camera sat for too long, and the battery fully discharged. It needs to be reset. In order to do that, remove the battery and memory card. Replace only the battery, and plug it in. You should see a green light flashing to the right of the LCD screen. That means it is now charging. Replace your memory card, and let it charge before trying to use it.

this memory card not formatted error is quite famous, I saw it before, but luckily I found the solution, check it outFix Memory card not formatted error and recover fileshope that you can find the help as me.

This was a pain for me to figure out. I too had the same problem. This may not be the RIGHT way, but it is how I did it.

First, copy everything you want off the memory card and then insert it into the camera. Format the card.

Then, take a single picture.

Now, with the camera on, hit the playback button to view the picture you just took.

Press the MENU button, and scroll through the menu to the very last entry, which should be COPY.
Press OK, and then you can select to copy from INternal to memory card, or memory card to INternal (note, IN means internal in the menu). You, of course, want internal to memory card, so select it if not already done so, and press okay.

That's all there is too it! I recommend erasing all images from the internal memory once you're done so you don't get confused later if you see images on there again.

Good luck! Ray - www.desertdawg.com

Replace the battery.

It's not possible to take a photo in a second, because the camera needs to get in focus the object you're taking picture of.You have a square on your display that indicates where the focus will be.With whatever function you use, you need to press the shutter button halfway and wait for the camera to focus on the object. When it's focused you will hear the click and the square will turn green.Now your pictures shouldn't be blurry.

There is dirt or an obstruction in the lens telescoping mechanism or the lens cover that is preventing it from working properly.
Try clearing it with compressed air.
Otherwise, you need a professional to repair the camera. You can find a service center on the manufacturer's website.
