The screen is black and when you shot it says Low Light?

Now if what my esteemed colleague mayer suggested should not work for you, try this. Make sure that you have fully charged brand name batteries. My camera needs the expensive kind :-) to work well. Try to put the camera on AUTO and ignore the Low Light message for now. Then press the shutter button and hold it for a few seconds. see if that at least gives you a picture. The manual is available for online viewing at http://www.scribd.com/doc/15077135/Samsu... You can download it but must have a facebook account. I prefer the online version ;-)Good Luck and let us know.
