Troubleshooting
Usage Tips
  Battery
The camera does not work even when
batteries are installed.
• Insert recharged batteries in the correct
direction. g “Inserting and removing
the battery and card” (P. 5)
• Battery performance may have been
reduced temporarily due to low
temperature. Take the batteries out of
the camera, and warm them by putting
them in your pocket for a while.

Card/Internal memory
An error message is displayed.
• g “Error message” (P. 67)

Shutter button
No picture is taken when the shutter
button is pressed.
• Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera
automatically goes into sleep mode and
the monitor turns off if no operations are
performed for a pre-determined period of
times while the camera is on. No picture
is taken even if the shutter button is
fully pressed in this mode. Operate the
zoom lever or other buttons to restore
the camera from sleep mode before
taking a picture. If the camera is left for
another 5 minutes, it automatically turns
off. Press the n button to turn the
camera on.
• Press the q button to switch to the
shooting mode.
• Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking
before taking pictures.
• With prolonged camera use, the internal
temperature may increase, resulting in
automatic shutdown. If this occurs, wait
until the camera has sufficiently cooled.
The camera’s external temperature
may also increase during use, however
this is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.

Monitor
Difficult to see.
• Condensation may have occurred. Turn
off the power, and wait for the camera
body to become acclimated to the
surrounding temperature and dry out
before taking pictures.
The light is caught in the picture.
• Shooting with flash in dark situations
results in an image with many flash
reflections on dust in the air.

Date and time function
Date and time settings return to the
default setting.
• If the batteries are removed and left
out of the camera for about 3 days *1 ,
the date and time settings return to the
default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time
settings return to the default setting
varies depending on how long the
batteries have been loaded.
