Assuming this is an error message, some say it is not, I do not know. But if it is, try resetting camera to factory defaults or taking out battery until any power in camera disappears. Sometimes data can get stuck or corrupted in electronic devices and be a devil to correct. Had a VCR years ago that would not work because of something similar, finally I though maybe programming it would work where manual would not, that cleared up whatever was wrong.
Seems astonishing up until your post no one has suggested a factory reset or removing the battery? In some cases issues like the OP has outlined are very easily resolved in seconds!
