The camera takes too long to take a picture.
You may be pressing the shutter button all the
way down at once. This forces the camera to focus,
make exposure adjustments, and capture the
image all at the same time. To make the process
more efficient, you can have the camera perform
these operations separately. First, depress the
shutter button halfway to lock the auto focus, then
press the shutter button the rest of the way down
to take the photo. For more information, see
“Taking Pictures Using the Viewfinder” on page
2-6, or “Taking Pictures Using the LCD monitor”
on page 2-9.
If you want to take pictures quickly in succession,
use the continuous shooting feature. This feature
allows you to take up to ten pictures in succession
before the camera saves them to the memory card.
See “Using the continuous shooting feature” on
page 2-15.
The flash does not work.
Make sure that your flash is not set to . Also,
when using the automatic flash setting, the
flash only fires when there is insufficient light. See
“Setting the flash” on page 4-4 for details on
setting the flash.
Make sure that the batteries are installed
correctly. See “Installing the batteries” on page
1-5. Also, make sure that you are using
appropriate batteries and that they are charged.
See “Replacing the batteries” on page 1-6.
Note:
When you use the continuous shooting feature or take
video clips, the flash is disabled.
The lens is still protruding even though the camera
is turned off.
The camera may have shut off automatically. If
the lens is protruding when the shut-off feature
turns off the camera, the lens does not retract. To
retract the lens, press the POWER button once to
turn the camera back on, then again to turn the
camera off.
The batteries may be low. Use the optional AC
adapter, or replace the batteries with new or
recharged batteries, then turn the camera on and
off again. The lens retracts.
