yesterday, I brought up an image on the screen and handed the camera to someone else to view. From their puzzled look, something was wrong. Looking again at the screen, it was covered in vertical lines, of varying thickness, of pastel (at least, no vivid) colours, interspersed with dashed black lines one or two pixels thick.

More worryingly, none of the buttons elicited a response, even the on/off switch.

Just as I was beginning to seriously panic, the off switch worked (not immediately - it was left in the off position and finally worked after about three seconds) and everything returned to normal.

No recurrence.  So far.

I feel the on/off switch on this particular specimen is likely to give trouble in the future, due to the feel of it compared to all the others I have fondled. Apart from that, I can think of no reason for what occured. Anyone else have an idea?

The power switch may be going flaky, but I'd start by changing the batteries.
