1. When this happens it means you have held the power button down too long when shutting down your camera. If you hold the power button down for an excess of more than 5 seconds, the power light will turn all the way off. This is called a "hard reset". To power on your camera again you will need to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. To prevent your camera from going into "hard reset" mode again.
