I was at a local concert last night and took my G9 rather than the DSLR set up - much more inconspicuous. I took a few pictures before and during the concert, all fine and then suddenly hit a hitch. First incident was the camera LCD asking for a new battery pack despite the battery levell indicator showing the battery as being almost full. I thought that it might be a battery connection problem and removed the battery and than inserted it again - no further issues about the battery level. However, I could no longer take any pictures other than pure black - it was as if the CCD sensor was now faulty. The camera would allow me to take pictures but they were all pure black. The LCD display on the back works fine and shows all the menu settings etc. but no longer shows any picture images other than playback of pictures taken earlier, all later pictures are 'black' and no 'live view' pictures.
I tried doing a 'reset all' to take things back to original factory settings and this did do a reset but did not fix the problem. I then put the battery pack on charge last night and have tried the camera again this morning to no avail. No pictures can be taken.
Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. The camera is still under warranty (just). Is it now time for it to meet its maker?
