Problems and Solutions

Problem

Cause

Solution

Nothing appears on

the LCD monitor.

The lithium-ion battery pack is flat or is

not inserted.

Load a lithium-ion battery pack into

the camera and re-charge it.

The Power Save function has

switched the camera off. ( p.6-5)

Press the POWER button

H

again

to switch the camera back on.

There is no image on

the LCD monitor.

If you leave the camera for a while

without using it, the camera goes into

Sleep mode.

Press the shutter release button half

way or press any other camera button

to restore the camera to Shooting

mode. The details vary depending on

the Power Save function settings. See

p.6-5 for details.

There is something generating a

magnetic field (such as a magnet or

TV) close to the camera.

Move the camera further away from

the magnetic object.

The number of

available shots did not

change when I took a

picture.

This is because the photographed

image size is small.

This is dependent on factors such as

the quality mode and the subject and

is not a problem.

I cannot erase an

image. The [

] icon

appears.

The image is protected.

Unprotect the image. ( p.5-10)

The number of

available shots did not

increase after I erased

an image.

This is because the erased image size

is small.

This is dependent on factors such as

the quality mode and the subject and

is not a problem.

I cannot charge the

battery.

There is no lithium-ion battery pack

loaded in the camera.

Load a lithium-ion battery pack into

the camera.

The lithium-ion battery pack poles

(+ and –) are the wrong way round.

Reload the lithium-ion battery pack

correctly.

The AC adapter is not connected

correctly.

Check that the adapter is securely

connected to the camera and the

power socket.

The battery pack terminals are soiled. Wipe the terminals with a soft clean

cloth.

I cannot charge the

battery. Or charging

stops. The caution

LED flashes slowly.

The charging protection circuit was

activated and halted charging

because the ambient temperature is

too high or too low.

Charge the battery when the ambient

temperature is between 10°C and

30°C. (Charging is possible between

5°C and 40°C but will take slightly

longer.)

The camera gets hot.

A strong current flows through the

camera when the LCD monitor is used

so the camera gets hot if the LCD

monitor is used for an extended

period.

While this is not a fault, you should

leave the camera for a time before

using it again.

The caution LED

flashes slowly.

The flash is charging.

Briefly take your finger off the shutter

release button and wait.
