Troubleshooting307

In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting them back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the battery out and put them back in again. Then, turn the power on. The mirror will retract. After these procedures are done, if the camera operates correctly, it does not require any repairs.

We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service center.
