Yea i just had to vent because it happened when set up a good scene, but as far as the camera. I think I'm going to have to get a new one. I'm sure it could be fixed if i knew how or could a ford to send to someone who knew how. I have open it up to see if was something obvious like dirt or something. It seem to be a malfunction with zoom lens. It seem to be stuck and the camera can't cope with the malfunction so the camera just tries to turn on and off in loop until I unplug it.
