Hello all!
these is my first thread so i might be passing some rules... so please be petaint with me...

Anyway, im in a trip in S.america, and i dropped my camera a few times... :oops:

The problem is, that some times whan im on a shooting mode, the screen becomes black and i cant shot pics. (if i shot, they turn out black)
In those cases i slightly HIT my camera, and that seems to fix it till the next time.
What is the problem? and how and where can i fix it?

thx for all the replayers,
ido.

You've got a loose connection, or damaged component in the camera somewhere. If you're brave and lucky, you might be able to fix it yourself without further destroying your camera.

At this point you can keep going until the trip is over, and hope that it keeps up, or you could get it repaired (likely to be without a camera for a while) or you could buy or rent another camera if your current camera poses too much risk for loosing shots (if it ever rarely works instead of rarely doesn't work) then have the camera repaired when you return home.
