This digital still camera contains a microprocessor. The operation of the microprocessor can be disrupted by electronic noise or interference. If this happens, disconnect the power source (battery, AC adapter, etc.) from the camera, and then resume using the camera. If this does not solve the problem, and taking the action described below also does not solve the problem, contact your nearest JVC dealer.
