If you can get some oil in the moving parts that might help or you can try to soak in hot water and that might loosen the parts up. I haven't had that problem yet but those are the 2 things I would try first.

There is a reset button in the back, unplug the camera power supply, plug in the power and hold reset for 20 seconds, then reconnect it.

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

Don't reset it just turn it on manually by pushing the cover panel over the buttons. I am not sure which model you have but this works for me until the normal setting comes around and it changes it again automatically.

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

Try resetting camera by using a needle. Insert needle in little between usb port and memory card. Worked for me.

Pushing the button on the battery case is how mine turns on and off. Possibly try changing the batteries? Not sure what size it takes though.

Have you removed the thin plastic sheet that covers the battery? That's the thing that acts as the device's "on" and "off" button. Be sure to replace it when you're done shooting to save your battery.

As all others answered, you have to reset it by using paperclip in tiny reset hole. Is it fixed yet? I had trouble with start button I got answers to that one if needed.

Hi Emily, it could be you need a new battery or to take it to camera store that fixes them.and have them check it for you. Good luck

If you have it attached to a power switch inside the house just turn it off. The unit will revert to giving a warning when turned back on and begin taking photos or clips again.

That HAS happened to me, and yes, turnng off and on will work but also, needlesstosay, I checked my batteries, must use very powerful ones but after that, it worked good. It's been a very good, SMALL camera. I've had this a while, then bought another one from Amazon, which was much cheaper than when new. May 1, 2014

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.
