The batteries also probably need to be charged regardless of how full a charger says they are. 1st time thing.

hmm... is it screwed on all the way? you will have to make sure all the connections is connected.

What kind of batteries did you put inside if the battery grip? Are the batteries fully charged? Some of the off-brand batteries have issues. Try all your batteries individually in the camera without the grip, just to make sure they all work and ate compatible with your camera, then proceed to put them in the grip and try again. I found that sometimes my camera will lock up and will not turn on, but pulling out the battery compartment and putting it back in will fix it. Hopefully yours does the same.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

Same thing happens to me!!?!?!? I'm trying to return the newest SD card I purchased. The camera works fine with one of my older SD cards.

Assuming you fully charged the battery prior to plugging it into your camera my guess is you have a defective battery.

I turned that on with my sony a7 as well, but I can't get it to work. I removed the battery film. what should I do now...

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.

I wish I could help you... the camera was working fine as I had tested it before my trip. The day before my trip I went to use the camera and could not get it to charge or work at all.

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

Not sure if I can help you. I have no such issues with my camera. Did you order the item used? It sounds like it is not functioning correctly.

@Benjamin Augustine thank you sooooooooo much for helping me fix my camera!! it works now, and if it ever happens in the future I'll be able to fix it. So glad that I didn't have to send it in and get a refurbished camera! Thanks again!

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.

I am having the same experience. I guess I'd better return this camera. I mean, if it won't even turn on, what good is it? What a waste of time. My husband bought me a Vivitar pocket camcorder for Christmas, it works. I guess I'll just stick with that. After all...it works...kind of a basic requirement.

I never had any problems with mine, still works perfectly. On the camera, there is there is switch option, as enter the camers the switch is @ top right hand, you will find a a camera symbol click to switch to your desired option. If it fails you know its faulty.

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

Unfortunately I have never had to reset my camera. Is it fully charged? Is it turning on? I will totally try & help you out the best I can :)
