Ok, thank you very much for taking the time to check out your camera
to see exactly what it was doing, that is exactly the information i needed
to know. And yes, i did put my hand in front of the lsaer to make sure
it was not on and it wasn't. I think what i will do is (1) Go into setup
mode and set the camera to its factory default settings. (2) Remove the
battery and then reinstall it. (3) Try the switch on AIM again, and if it
doesn't work exchange the camera. ha
Appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions, thank you all.
