button down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus on the 
subject. Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture 
an image clearly.

batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).
2. Insert the memory card (p.12). As this

you do not need to insert the memory 
card. If the memory card is not 
inserted, an image will be stored in 
the internal memory. If the memory 
card is inserted, an image will be 
stored on the memory card.
