S2 IS Black Screen Solution

The solution is:
1. Move the camera to TV mode(the wheel with AUTO,M,TV,...)
2. Set the exposure time to 15 seconds(15")
3. Take a picture.
4. After 7 seconds remove the batteries and put them back on.
5. Repeat the procedure until it works.

Note: You could also just quickly remove the lid of the baterries and put it back on.Also repeat the above several times until it works.

If anybody has any problem how to set the S2IS in 15" exposure mode. Just set the wheel to TV mode first and thn tap the jog dial(left/right/up/down-keys) to the left till it sets to 15".
