Troubleshooting

If you put the menu back to the settings at the time of purchase, the conditions may be improved.

Carry out the [RESET] in the [SETUP] menu. (P24)

∫Battery and the power source

1:The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on.

•Is the battery inserted correctly?

•Is the battery sufficiently charged?

–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.

2:The camera is turned off immediately even after it is turned on.

•Is the battery charge insufficient to operate the camera?

–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.

∫Recording

1:The picture cannot be recorded.

•Is the card inserted?

•Is the mode dial correctly set?

•Is there any memory capacity left on the card?

–Before recording, delete some pictures.

2:The subject is not focused properly.

•The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.

Rotate the mode dial to set to the proper mode for the distance to the subject.

•Is the subject out of the focus range? (P38)

•When you cannot focus on the subject even if you tried many times, turn the camera off once and turn it on again.

3:The recorded picture is blurred.

•When taking a picture especially in dark places, the shutter speed becomes slow and the optical image stabilizer function may not work properly. In this case, we recommend holding the camera with both hands firmly to take pictures. When you take pictures with slow shutter speed, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P53) for taking pictures.

4:The recorded picture is whitish. The lens is dirty.

•The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. When the lens is dirty, turn the camera on and lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft dry cloth.

5:Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

•Are you using a MultiMediaCard?

–This unit does not support MultiMediaCard.

•When you set the picture quality to [30fpsVGA], we recommend using a high speed SD Memory Card with “10 MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.

•Depending on the number of pictures, type of card and number of pictures deleted, recording may stop in the middle when you are recording. If something like this happens, clean-up may be effective. We recommend you clean up the card using the camera in advance. (P114)
