Troubleshooting Guide

Shooting-Related Problems

No images can be shot or recorded.

Make sure the card is properly inserted (p.34).

Slide the card’s write-protect switch to the Write/Erase position (p.34).

If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room (p.34, 254).

The card cannot be used.

If a card error message is displayed, see page 36 or 323.

The image is out of focus.

Set the focus mode to <AF> (p.116).

To prevent camera shake, press the shutter button gently (p.48, 49). If the lens has an Image Stabilizer, set the IS to <1> (p.46).

In low light, the shutter speed may become slow. Use a faster shutter speed (p.142), set a higher ISO speed (p.109), use flash (p.138), or use a tripod.

I cannot lock the focus and recompose the shot.

Set the AF operation to One-Shot AF. Focus lock is not possible in the Servo AF operation (p.131).

When Servo AF is set, it takes longer for the shutter to be released.

Keep tracking the subject with the shutter button pressed completely.
