The “!” means the SD card is low speed or has the wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format the SD card with the camcorder instead of the PC (Please refer to the detail Format instruction section).

4.Why is Camera Flash not active when taking pictures?

Make sure that the focus range is NOT set at Macro mode, as flash is disabled in this mode. Scroll through Picture mode and set Flash as Auto; note that Flash OFF is the default pre-set mode for normal picture taking. In Auto mode camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).

5.Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?

Camera extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep camera (and photographed subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been taken.

6.How do I charge the battery?

The computer will not charge the battery when connected. You must ONLY use the supplied AC charger.

Camera must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging has been completed.
