It needs service. Maybe they can offer you an alternative instead of
repairing, ask them.

Hello,
"DarnToothySam" not only sells/auctions secondhand digital cameras
(and their individual parts), he also fixes them, and his prices
seem quite reasonable. Here are his Web sites:
DarnToothySam.com
http://www.darntoothysam.com
DarnToothySam - eBay Store
http://stores.ebay.com/DarnToothySam
Good luck!
Cordially,
John Turco <jtur RemoveThis @concentric.net> >> Stay informed about: Canon PowerShot G3 lens gets stuck on start up, camera shu.. |

Solved it by myself: unscrewed the camera, let it dry for 3 days,
and then screwed it back again. Works OK now. Probably water
droplets entered the body and caused the problem.
