Could be an issue with the panel but first clean both sets of contacts (camera and cable) to see if that helps.

Make sure the camera is fully seated in the case. Some folks recently have had problems getting the camera to actually click into place. If the camera sticks out at all, it's not fully seated and the electrical contacts won't be made. Push the release button on the bottom of the camera and see if there's a click. If not, the camera isn't seated. If it does click, you'll need to push the camera back into place. Either way, I use both thumbs on the edges of the camera face and wrap my hands around the case to help get the camera to click into place.
