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. (P19)
∫ Battery and the 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.
(P14)
• Is the battery sufficiently charged?
– Use a battery that has been
sufficiently charged.
2: The LCD monitor is turned off even
when the camera is turned on.
• Is the power save mode or economy
mode activated? (P19)
– Press the shutter button halfway to
cancel these modes.
• Is the battery charge insufficient to
operate the camera?
– Use a battery that has been
sufficiently charged.
3: 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.
– If you leave the camera with turning it
on, the battery is exhausted. Turn the
camera off frequently by using the
power save mode, the economy
mode, etc. (P19)
∫ 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?
(P29)
• 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 (P28). When the [SLOW
SHUTTER] (P68) is set, we
recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P39) for taking pictures.
4: The recorded picture is whitish.
• Check fingerprint on the lens.
– Make sure not to touch or stain the
lens surface. If the lens is dirty, eject
the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe
the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.
