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. (P24)

Battery and the power source
1: The camera cannot be operated even

when it is turned on.
• Is the battery inserted correctly?
• Is the battery sufficiently charged?

– Use a battery that has been

sufficiently charged.

2: 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.

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?

(P38)

• 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. When you take pictures with
slow shutter speed, we recommend
using a tripod and the self-timer (P53)
for taking pictures.

4: The recorded picture is whitish.

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

is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens.
When the lens is dirty, turn the camera
on and lightly wipe the surface of the
lens with a soft dry cloth.

5: Motion picture recording stops in the

middle.
• Are you using a MultiMediaCard?

– This unit does not support

MultiMediaCard.

• When you set the picture quality to

[30fpsVGA], we recommend using a
high speed SD Memory Card with
“10 MB/s” or greater displayed on the
package.

• Depending on the number of pictures,

type of card and number of pictures
deleted, recording may stop in the
middle when you are recording. If
something like this happens, clean-up
may be effective. We recommend you
clean up the card using the camera in
advance. (P114)
