Hi everyone.
hows it going?

I have an Optio s6 that was given to me as a gift. It is a very nice camera, and I've had it now for about 8 months. Recently, the camera seems to be freezing up when taking pictures. I push the shutter release half-way to focus, and sometimes, the whole camera just freezes. I have to take out the battery, re-insert and push the power button to get it to work again. I tried emailing Pentax about the issue, but havent heard anything from them for a month. Would anyone here know a possible cause and solution?

I've tried using three different batteries and two different SD cards (512MB Lexar card and a 2GB Sandisk card) and no SD card at all, but this odd, random freezing thing happens using any combination of the above batteries and memory cards.

Sorry for the long description, and thanks for any help you can provide.
