Hello. I got this camera few days ago and it is luckily turning on but at first, it says change the batteries and apparently I just switch places and it turned on again. My concern is that the screen appears to be half green and half okay. Please help if someone experienced the same and what to do. Thank you.

Greetings,
Given the camera's age and this behavior, I'd say the image sensor or LCD has failed. You can try a different memory card and battery, but I do not expect what you are seeing to change. Chances are its done.

Greetings,
Its a 20 yr old 5MP camera. Comparatively, any mobile phone will out perform it. Try different batteries and memory card. If this doesn't help, its reached the end of its life.
