  If your BenQ Digital Camera isn't shooting when you press the shutter, several things could be happening. First, make sure your batteries aren't low by replacing them. Next, ensure the camera is actually in Capture mode. When taking a photo, be sure to press the shutter button completely. If your memory is full, either load a new card or delete unnecessary files. If the flash is still charging, wait for the flash mode icon to stop flashing. Finally, if the camera doesn't recognize the memory card, format it.
