Troubleshooting

If you return the menu settings to the initial settings at the time of purchase, the condition may improve.

Select [RESET] in the [SETUP] menu. (P29)

Battery and power source

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

Is the battery inserted correctly? Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?

Is the battery sufficiently charged?

Charge the battery or use one that has been sufficiently charged.

2:The LCD monitor turns off while the camera is turned on.

The camera turns off arbitrarily.

Is power save mode (P28) activated?

Press the shutter button halfway to cancel this mode.

Is the battery exhausted?

Charge the battery or replace it with a battery which has enough capacity.

3:The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on.

Is the battery charge insufficient to operate the camera?

Charge the battery or use one that has been sufficiently charged.

If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted. Turn the camera off frequently by using power save mode (P28) etc.

Recording

1:The picture cannot be recorded. The shutter does not activate.

Is the card inserted?

Is there any memory remaining on the card?

Before recording, delete some pictures. (P45)

Is the subject focused?

At the time of purchase, the camera is set so that you cannot take a picture until the subject is brought into focus. If you want to be able to take a picture when you press the shutter button fully even if the subject is not focused, set [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM] menu to [OFF]. (P86)

2:The recording mode ([ ], [ ],

[ ], [ ]) cannot be set correctly.

Is the lens attached correctly?

Detach the lens and attach it again. (P16)

3:The subject is not focused properly.

Is the subject beyond the focus range of the camera? (P34)

Have you taken a picture with jitter?

Is [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM] menu set to [OFF]? (P86)

In this case, the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in focus mode is set.

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. If the lens is dirty turn the camera off and then gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.

5:The recorded picture is too bright or dark.

Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P40)
