If the camera does not function normally or the system error message appears, turn it off, remove and reinsert the batteries, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. If the camera has become hot with extended use, wait for it to cool before removing or disconnecting the power supply. Always turn the camera off using the main switch otherwise the memory card may be damaged and the camera reset.
