Troubleshooting
If you put the menu back to the settings at 
the time of purchase, the conditions may be 
improved.
Carry out the [RESET] in the [SETUP] 
menu. (P24)
∫ Battery and the power source
1: The camera cannot be operated even 
when it is turned on.
• Is the battery inserted correctly?
• Is the battery sufficiently charged?
– Use a battery that has been 
sufficiently charged.
2: The camera is turned off immediately 
even after it is turned on.
• Is the battery charge insufficient to 
operate the camera?
– Use a battery that has been 
sufficiently charged.
∫ Recording
1: The picture cannot be recorded.
• Is the card inserted?
• Is the mode dial correctly set?
• Is there any memory capacity left on 
the card?
– Before recording, delete some 
pictures.
2: The subject is not focused properly.
• The focus range varies depending on 
the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set to the 
proper mode for the distance to the 
subject.
• Is the subject out of the focus range? 
(P38)
• When you cannot focus on the subject 
even if you tried many times, turn the 
camera off once and turn it on again.
3: The recorded picture is blurred.
• When taking a picture especially in dark 
places, the shutter speed becomes 
slow and the optical image stabilizer 
function may not work properly. In this 
case, we recommend holding the 
camera with both hands firmly to take 
pictures. When you take pictures with 
slow shutter speed, we recommend 
using a tripod and the self-timer (P53) 
for taking pictures.
4: The recorded picture is whitish.
The lens is dirty.
• The picture can become whitish if there 
is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. 
When the lens is dirty, turn the camera 
on and lightly wipe the surface of the 
lens with a soft dry cloth.
5: Motion picture recording stops in the 
middle.
• Are you using a MultiMediaCard?
– This unit does not support 
MultiMediaCard.
• When you set the picture quality to 
[30fpsVGA], we recommend using a 
high speed SD Memory Card with 
“10 MB/s” or greater displayed on the 
package.
• Depending on the number of pictures, 
type of card and number of pictures 
deleted, recording may stop in the 
middle when you are recording. If 
something like this happens, clean-up 
may be effective. We recommend you 
clean up the card using the camera in 
advance. (P114)
