Troubleshooting Guide

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

If the power is turned off while an image is being recorded to the card, the access lamp will remain on/continue to blink for a few seconds. When the image recording is completed, the power will turn off automatically.

The battery becomes exhausted quickly.

Use a fully-charged battery pack (p.28).

The battery performance may have degraded. See [53: Battery info.] to check the battery’s recharge performance level (p.338). If the battery performance is poor, replace the battery pack with a new one. The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations:

Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.

Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.

Using the lens’ Image Stabilizer.

Using the LCD monitor often.

Continuing Live View shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged period.

The camera turns off by itself.

Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take effect, set [52: Auto power off] to [Disable] (p.55).

Even if [52: Auto power off] is set to [Disable], the LCD monitor will still turn off after the camera is left idle for 30 min. (The camera’s power does not turn off.)
