Screen says Access then Turn off and on again

Is there a way to get past the screen that says the word Access when I turn it on? The light beside the view finder is flashing yellow. The lens extends and retracts multiple times before it shuts off automatically or the screen changes to say Turn off and back on. It's been stored for some time in a zip lock bag but the battery pack charges fine and on the first start up I was able to set the date etc. This problem started the first time I restarted it after date time step.
