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 #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.
• With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera
has suffi ciently cooled.
The camera’s external temperature may also increase during use, however this is normal
and does not indicate malfunction.
Monitor
Diffi cult 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 fl ash in dark situations results in an image with many fl ash refl ections 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.

on how long the batteries have been loaded.
