Have you tried switching the camera off then removing and replacing the battery? That is the only instruction give in the manual.

Gday Macca I don't shoot in auto so I have never had that problem, I googled and all I could come up with is this
its the same as Grahams answer, Good luck with it

Take it back to where you purchased it and tell them you'd like one that doesn't bring up Err 50 when you're shooting on Auto.

thanks for the replys it will be something simple
i have been stuffing with it all day
i will check that thread out william and see what happens
i never shoot auto any way
but i still want to no why its doing it
its pretty hard to take a camera back to hong kong ona a sat to ask them
i got it grey but still 2 year warranty
i swap over every year for tax and keep up with new camera
so i will never be out of warranty
