Cameras/Problem with my vivitar camera

Question
Hey,  my vivitar is displaying an 'error 2' message and will not take any photos. What's wrong with it?

Answer
Angie,

The error message is a maintenance code.  If it something you can fix, it will be listed in the troubleshooting section of your instruction book.  If it's not there, it means it must be sent to a technician.  I hate to give bad news, but if you can't fix it yourself you should just throw it away and get a new one.  Oh, and if you ever need to ask a question here again, please give more information about what kind of camera you have.  There have probably been about 1000 Vivitar cameras over the last 50 years.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
