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.

making the initial settings” (P. 7)
