Troubleshooting

If you return the menu settings to the initial
settings at the time of purchase, the
condition may improve.
Select [RESET] in the [SETUP] menu.
(P22)

Battery and power source
1: The camera cannot be operated even

when it is turned on.
• Is the battery inserted correctly?

– Check the direction of the battery.

(P14)

• Is the battery sufficiently charged?

– Use a battery that has been

sufficiently charged.

2: The LCD monitor turns off while the

camera is turned on.
• Is power save mode (P21) or economy

mode (P21) activated?
– Press the shutter button halfway to

cancel these modes.

• Is the battery exhausted?

– Use a battery that has been

sufficiently charged.

3: The camera turns off immediately

after it is turned on.
• Is the battery charge insufficient to

operate the camera?
– Use a battery that has been

sufficiently charged.

– If you leave the camera on, the

battery will be exhausted. Turn the
camera off frequently by using power
save mode (P21) etc.

Recording
1: The picture cannot be recorded.

• Is the card inserted?
• Is the mode dial correctly set?
• Is there any memory remaining on the

built-in memory (DMC-FX3) or the
card?
– Before recording, delete some

pictures. (P34)

2: The recorded picture is whitish.

The lens is dirty.
• The picture can become whitish if there

is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. If the
lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject
the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe
the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.

3: The recorded picture is too bright or

dark.
• Check that the exposure is correctly

compensated. (P44)

4: 2 or 3 pictures are taken at one time.

• Is auto bracket (P45) or burst mode

set? (P47)

5: The subject is not focused properly.

• The focus range varies depending on

the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set the proper
mode for the distance to the subject.

• Is the subject beyond the focus range of

the camera? (P26)

• Have you taken a picture with jitter?

6: The recorded picture is blurred. The

optical image stabilizer is not
effective.
• The shutter speed will become slower

and the optical image stabilizer function
may not work properly when taking
pictures especially in dark places. In
this case, we recommend holding the
camera firmly with both hands when
taking pictures. (P25) When
[SLOW SHUTTER] (P77) is set, we
recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P43) when taking pictures.
