Troubleshooting

If you return the menu settings to the initial
settings at the time of purchase, the
condition may improve.
Select [RESET] in the [SETUP] menu.
(P21)

Batteries and the power source
1: The camera turns off immediately

even when battery power is full.
The remaining battery power is low
even if new batteries are inserted.
• The remaining battery power may not

be displayed accurately, and the
camera may suddenly stop working,
when the type of battery and the
settings on [BATTERY TYPE] are not
identical. However this is not a
malfunction. Depending on the battery
brand and the operating temperature, or
if exhausted batteries are used, the
remaining battery power may not be
displayed accurately.
– Please check [BATTERY TYPE] (P20)

in the [SETUP] menu.

2: The camera cannot be operated even

when it is turned on.
• Are the batteries inserted correctly?
• Use sufficiently charged batteries when

using Ni-MH batteries.

3: The LCD monitor turns off while the

camera is turned on.
• Is power save mode (P20) or economy

mode (P21) activated?
– Press the shutter button halfway to

cancel these modes.

• Are the batteries exhausted?

– Replace them with batteries which

have sufficient capacity. (When you
use Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)

4: The camera turns off immediately

after it is turned on.
• Are the batteries exhausted?

– Replace them with batteries which

have sufficient capacity. (When you
use Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)

– If you leave the camera on, the

batteries will be exhausted. Turn the
camera off frequently by using power
save mode (P20), economy mode
(P21), etc.

Recording
1: The picture cannot be recorded.

• Is the mode dial correctly set?
• Is there any memory remaining on the

built-in memory or the card?
– Before recording, delete some

pictures. (P33)

2: The recorded picture is whitish.

The lens is dirty.
• The picture can become whitish if there

is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. If the
lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject
the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe
the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.

3: The recorded picture is too bright or

dark.
• Check that the exposure is correctly

compensated. (P42)

4: The subject is not focused properly.

• The focus range varies depending on

the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set the proper
mode for the distance to the subject.

• Is the subject beyond the focus range of

the camera? (P24)

• Have you taken a picture with jitter?
