Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if an

error message is displayed on the screen, refer

to the information below to fix the problem(s).

Troubleshooting

Battery

“The camera does not work even when

batteries are installed”

Insert new or recharged batteries in the correct

direction.
“Loading the batteries” (p. 10)
Battery performance may have been reduced

temporarily due to low temperature. Take the

batteries out of the camera, and warm them by

putting them in your pocket for a while.

Card/Internal memory

“An error message is displayed”

“Error message” (p. 73)

Shutter button

“No picture is taken when the shutter

button is pressed”

Cancel sleep mode.

To save battery power, the camera automatically

enters sleep mode and the monitor turns off if

there is no operation for a certain amount of

time when the camera is turned on (the lens is

extended and the monitor is on). You can select

the time to enter the sleep mode from 1, 3, 5 or

10 minutes. No picture is taken even if the shutter

button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the

shutter button or other buttons to restore the

camera from sleep mode before taking a picture.

If the camera is further left for 12 minutes, it

automatically turns off (the lens retracts and the

monitor turns off). Press the o button to turn

the camera on.
[SLEEP] (p. 63)
Set the mode dial to a position other than q

and R.
Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before

taking pictures.

With prolonged camera use, the internal

temperature may increase, resulting in automatic

shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery

from the camera and wait until the camera

has sufficiently cooled. The camera’s external

temperature may also increase during use,

however this is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

Monitor/Viewfinder

“Nothing is displayed/Difficult to see”

Change the display with the u button.
Use the diopter adjustment dial to bring the display

into focus.
“Switching between the monitor and

viewfinder” (p. 25)
Condensation

may have occurred. Turn off the

power, and wait for the camera body to become

acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry

out before taking pictures.

*1

Dew drops can form in the camera when it is

suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,

humid room.

“Vertical lines appear on the screen”

Vertical lines will appear on the screen when the

camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject

under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not

appear, however, in the final image.

“The light is caught in the picture”

Shooting with flash in dark situations results in

an image with many flash reflections on dust in

the air.

Date and time function

“Date and time settings returns to the

default setting”

If the batteries are removed and left out of the

camera for about 3 days

, the date and time

settings returns to the default setting, and must

be reset.

The time until the date and time settings returns

to the default setting varies depending on how

long the batteries have been loaded.
