In certain cases, due to static electricity or poorly loaded batteries, the F80/F80D/F80S’s microcomputer may turn the camera off, even with fresh, properly installed batteries. For the same reason, the film may not advance properly. In each of these cases, to resume operation, simply turn the power off, then turn it on again. Or, remove and reinstall the batteries.
