Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (optional), disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn the camera on again. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not be affected.
