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. 
(P19)
∫ 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. 
(P12)
• 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 (P18) or economy 
mode (P18) 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 (P18) etc.
∫ Recording
1: The picture cannot be recorded.
• Is the mode dial correctly set?
• Is there any memory remaining on the 
built-in memory or the card?
– Before recording, delete some 
pictures. (P28)
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 (P9) 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. (P39)
4: 2 or 3 pictures are taken at one time.
• Is auto bracket (P40), 
[HI-SPEED BURST] in scene mode 
(P47) or burst mode set? (P63)
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? (P22, 41)
• Have you taken a picture with jitter?
• Did you take the picture after pressing 
the shutter button halfway? The subject 
is not focused until the shutter button is 
pressed halfway. (However, this 
excludes intelligent auto mode [
].)
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. (P22) We recommend 
using the self-timer (P38) when taking 
pictures with a slow shutter speed.
7: The recorded picture looks rough. 
Noise appears on the picture.
• Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter 
speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when 
the camera is shipped. Therefore, when 
taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO 
sensitivity increases.)
– Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P58)
– Set [COL.MODE] to [NATURAL]. 
(P65)
– Take pictures in bright places.
• In [HIGH SENS.] (P47) and 
[HI-SPEED BURST] (P47) in scene
