Olympus IS-1 manual Troubleshooting, Battery power, Camera does not work

Troubleshooting

Battery power

*Battery life will last for about 25 rolls (24-exposure, half with flash). Less flash and zooming uses less battery power. We recommend that you use Panasonic CR 123A or Duracell 123A. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries together.

The camera does not work

*Make sure the power switch is ON. *Check to make sure that the batteries are loaded and inserted correctly.

*When the battery warning mark appears on the LCD panel, replace batteries immediately.

Displays disappeared while shooting.

*When the camera power is ON, but no controls are operated for about 30 seconds,

a power saving function will turn off all

displays on the LCD panel and in the

viewfinder. To resume displays, press the

shutter release button lightly.

Shutter speed and aperture setting displays blinks.

*If there is not enough light when shooting, the shutter speed and aperture setting displays will blink to warn you. In such cases, a flash should be used. Also, in manual exposure mode, when the + / — display blinks, a flash should be used. *While using the flash, the shutter speed and aperture setting displays will blink to warn you that the subject is out of flash range. You need to get closer.

The camera does not focus correctly.

*When the subject moves too fast or is not positioned within the autofocus frame in the center of the viewfinder, the camera may not focus properly. Try using the focus lock (see p. 21).

*It is sometimes difficult to attain an accurate distance measurement of subjects that have a low reflection ratio, such as navy blue or black or subjects outside AF illuminator range (1.2-4 m/3.9-13.1 ft), even though the autofocus indicator appears in the viewfinder.
