Yes, I was able to force a reinitialization by removing and re-inserting the battery and indeed the device seems to be working again. So there doesn't seem to have been any permanent file-system corruption. I wish, though, that I knew better how to track down the source of the original problem (sudden autism on the part of the camera while connected to the USB port). Thank you very much indeed for your help.
