This is regarding PENTAX Efina. Text on camera:
PENTAX Efina
5.0V
MADE IN CHINA
PENTAX RICOH IMAGING CO LTD
1017964
The lens is not manually obstructed. The battery is fully charged. I bought it just yesterday. I've also tried re-inserting the battery and I've also input an SD card.
When I switch it on, it shows the Efina splash screen for a while (completely normal) and then gives a sound with a warning "Lens obstructed" written on black background. After one or two seconds, the camera shuts down automatically.
On closely hearing, I could also listen to two sounds made by the lens.
I think, and I only THINK, it needs not be the true case, that the lens is trying to open but can't, as judged from the sound it makes.
When I switched it on for the first time, it asked for language and date-time, which I input correctly. Then it gave the warning. Now whenever I open it, it gives the same warning and shuts down (as mentioned above). Kindly advice.
