Troubleshooting Guide

The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is set to <2>.

If the power is cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will light/blink for a few sec. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.

The battery becomes exhausted quickly.

Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).

The battery performance might be degraded. See the [7Battery info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.192). If the battery performance is poor, replace the battery with a new one.

If you keep displaying the Quick Control screen (p.38) or shooting with Live View function (p.107) for a prolonged period, the number of possible shots will decrease.

The camera turns off by itself.

Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set the [5Auto power off] menu to [Off].

Shooting-Related Problems

No images can be shot or recorded.

The card is not properly inserted (p.29).

If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.29, 142).

If you try to focus in One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus manually (p.35, 84).
