Remove the battery.
Wait 15 seconds and install battery.
My Zi8 seems to be locked up. I cannot turn it off or operate it. Any suggestions?

Not sure if this will help or not but I have been having Power issues with my Zi8 also. I was able to Power ON, but camera state would then freeze, not even allowing me to turn Power OFF. The only way to turn off was to remove battery. Bet then same issue would repeat
Solution:Turns out it was my memory card. I reformatted my SD card in another camera and that fixed the problem.To ditto previous posts - the battery on this thing does not last long at all. I think I would rather have AAA or AA batteries so at least I know i have backup power.I love this camera though - especially the versatility.check out some of my footage and projects here:
