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?

–Check the direction of the battery. (P15)

•Is the battery sufficiently charged?

–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.

2:The LCD monitor is turned off even when the camera is turned on.

•Is the power save mode (P22) or economy mode (P23) activated?

–Press the shutter button halfway to cancel these modes.

•Is the battery charge insufficient to operate the camera?

–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.

3: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.

–If you leave the camera with turning it on, the battery is exhausted. Turn the camera off frequently by using the power save mode (P22), the economy mode (P23), etc.

∫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? (P31)

•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 (P30). When the [SLOW SHUTTER] (P75) is set, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P41) 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. If the lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject the lens barrel (P11) and gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.
