Hi all,
After three years of trouble-free service, my 502 has decided to throw a spanner in the works of my very busy pre-Christmas schedule.
Today on a news shoot I tried to go from CAM mode to MCR mode to review my files and delete some that were no longer needed. Much to my dismay, I could not get a reaction from the MODE button, nor the MENU button and subsequently the HOLD, COUNTER and RESET buttons, nor the USER 1 and USER 2 buttons. I have taken the battery from the camera in an attempt to reset it to no avail.
I can still record pictures but, because I cannot access the menus, I cannot change the format of the video I am shooting, nor watch video playback, delete files or even format cards!! I can't do a reinstall of the firmware because I cannot get into PC mode!
Has anyone else had this problem and had it repaired? Is there a way on this camera that I can do a "factory Reset" or something similar?
Many thanks in advance,
DC
