This message is a bit urgent as I'm actually abroad on holiday at the moment and my pentax camera has completely died. No sure about the model or make but it's just an average camera about a year old with a little zoom. I was about to take a photo when all of a sudden it just stopped and started flashing 'H1' or maybe it was 'HI' it then changed to falsh 'H5' before returning to flash the 'HI'. I can't even turn the camera off or close the lens, whenever I try to press any other button it makes this horrible grinding noise. Obviously me being on holiday means I desperatley need this sorted! I don't have the manuel with me and couldn't find any sort of helpline on the internet so help would be appreciated!
