Solution

■ Make sure the battery is charged and installed correctly (see page 1). Charge the Li-Ion battery whenever necessary.

■ Adjust the LCD Brightness setting (see page 34).

■ Transfer all pictures to the computer (see page 37). ■ Take another picture.

■ Continue taking pictures. The camera is operating normally.

(The camera estimates the number of pictures remaining after each picture is taken, based on picture size and content.)

■ Check the flash setting, and change as needed (see page 10). NOTE: The flash does not fire in all modes.

■ Transfer the pictures to the computer (see page 37).

■ Delete pictures from the card (see page 22) or insert a new card.

■ Make sure the correct battery type is installed (see page 50).

■ Wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before inserting a battery in the camera.

■ Insert a new/charged battery (see page 1). Charge the Li-Ion battery whenever necessary.
