Usage Tips
If the camera does not work as intended, or if 
an error message is displayed on the screen, 
and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the 
information below to fi x the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
“The camera does not work even when 
battery is installed”
Insert recharged battery in the correct direction.
“Charging the battery” (p. 10), “Loading 
the battery and the xD-Picture Card™ (sold 
separately) into the camera” (p. 11)
Battery performance may have been reduced 
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the 
battery out of the camera, and warm it by putting it 
in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory
“An error message is displayed”
“Error message” (p. 59)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter 
button is pressed”
Slide the lens barrier down.
Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically 
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off 
if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the 
camera is turned on (when the lens barrier is 
open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken 
even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this 
mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to 
restore the camera from sleep mode before taking 
a picture. If the camera is left for 15 minutes, it 
automatically turns off (the monitor turns off). Slide 
the lens barrier down again or press o to 
turn the camera on.

Set the mode dial to a position other than 
q, 
R and 
6.
Wait until 
#(fl ash charge) stops blinking before 
taking pictures.

Condensation*
1
 may have formed. Turn off the 
power and wait for the camera body to become 
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry 
out before taking pictures.
*1
  Dew drops can form in the camera when it is 
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm, 
humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”
Vertical lines may appear on the screen at 
times such as when the camera is pointed at an 
extremely bright subject under a clear sky. The 
lines do not appear, however, in the fi nal image.
“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 battery is removed and left out of the camera 
for about 1 day*
2
, the date and time settings return 
to the default setting and must be reset.

  The time until the date and time settings return 
to the default setting varies depending on how 
long the battery have been loaded.
