evening all,
can anyone help please?
i have just an ordinary non fancy mobile phone (nokia 6300)
anyway, until today, the camera on it has always worked fine - you point and shoot, and the pic is stored.
but now when i press 'capture' to take a pic, you hear the 'camera shutter' sound as usual, but instantly 'camera in standby' comes up on the screen and the picture has not been taken or stored.
any ideas please?
thank you :o)

why can't a friend play a slideshow on her computer.

Is the battery low or storage full? Can you select a lower resolution so the picture can be stored until you make room? Sorry, don't have a camera on my phone so just a few thoughts!

Nice avatar picture by the way.

Hi have you tried switching the phone off and on? I used to have that phone, have you looked at the settings?

hi ttg,
well funnily enough it started playing up this afternoon when my battery was low, so im charging it now, fingers crossed itll be ok once its full then, yes..?
yeah i deleted quite a few pics earlier to make a bit of space, so i will try lowering the resolution too now like you suggested, not that theyre very high anyway, i think its only a 1.2 pixel camera.
thanks for replying :o)

and thank you again ..
