Troubleshooting

First, try out the following procedures (P185–193).

The battery is exhausted.

Charge the battery.

If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted.

> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [ECONOMY] Mode etc. (P59)

If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a HDMI mini cable (optional) and turn
off the power on the TV with the remote control for the TV, the power on this unit also turns off.

> If you are not using VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. (P61)

Is the temperature of the battery excessively high or low? If it is, it will take longer than usual to
charge the battery or charging may remain incomplete.

Are the terminals of the charger or battery dirty?

> Wipe off the dirt using a dry cloth.

Is the subject focused?

> [FOCUS PRIORITY] is set to [ON] at the time of purchase, and so you cannot take pictures

until the subject is in focus. If you want to be able to take a picture when you press the
shutter button fully even if the subject is not focused, set [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the
[CUSTOM] menu to [OFF]. (P130)

You may not be able to record for a short while after turning the power [ON] when using a large
capacity card.

Picture might look whitish when lens or image sensor gets dirty with fingerprints or similar.

> If the lens is dirty turn the camera off and then gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry

cloth.

> Refer to P177 when the image sensor gets dirty.

If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [RESET] (P62) on the
[SETUP] menu
.
