1)

The battery may not be oriented correctly (page 36).

 

 

2)

The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36). If the battery goes dead soon after being

 

 

 

charged, it means the battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced. Purchase a

 

 

 

separately available CASIO NP-20 rechargeable lithium ion battery.

down.

2)

The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36).

 

 

3)

The camera’s protection function may have activated because camera temperature is too high. Turn off

 

 

 

the camera and wait until it cools down before trying to use it again.

the shutter button is pressed.

2)

If the flash is charging, wait until the charge operation finishes.

properly.

2)

The subject may not be in the center of the focus frame when you compose the image.

 

 

3)

The subject you are shooting may not be a type that is not compatible with Auto Focus (page 71). Use

 

 

 

manual focus (page 129).

You may be moving the camera when shooting. Try shooting with Anti Shake (page 110) or use a tripod.

 

 

5)

You may be using Quick Shutter and pressing the shutter button all the way, resulting in poor focus.

 

 

 

Half-press the shutter button and allow enough time for Auto Focus to focus.
