remaining.

• Flash-ready lamp flickers: flash is charging.
• Message “Card is not formatted” displayed: memory card is

not formatted for use in COOLPIX4500.

• Message “No card present” displayed: no memory card in

camera.

• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is outside range of flash.
• Exposure compensation is too low.

• Exposure compensation is too high.

• Subject was not in focus area when shutter-release button

was pressed halfway.

• Autofocus lamp flickers: camera unable to focus.
• Manual focus distance does not match distance to subject.

Camera shook during shot: increase shutter speed. If shutter
speed can not be increased without underexposure, use the
flash (

61), raise sensitivity (ISO equivalency;

70), or se-

lect a larger aperture (

54). To minimize blur at low shutter

speeds, use the Best-Shot Selector (BSS;

98), use the self-

timer (

58), or use a tripod.

• Lens rotation is limited by swivel limit switch.

Lens section rotated to point in same direction as monitor at
setting of Ultra HS, Movie, Panorama Assist, or Multiple
Exposure
