 Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if Monitor

an error message is displayed on the screen,
and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the
information below to fix the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
“The camera does not work even when
batteries are installed”.
● Insert new or recharged batteries in the correct
direction.
“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC memory
card (sold separately)” (p. 10)
● If [ALKALINE] is selected with NiMH batteries, the
camera may fail to turn on when the batteries are
low. Be sure the batteries are fully charged, and
select [NiMH] for [BATTERY TYPE].
[BATTERY TYPE] (p. 36)
● Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the
batteries out of the camera, and warm them by
putting them in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory
“An error message is displayed”.
“Error message” (p. 43)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter
button is pressed”.
● Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off
if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the
camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if
the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode.
Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to
restore the camera from sleep mode before
taking a picture. If the camera is left for another
12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the
n button to turn the camera on.
● Press the q button to switch to the shooting
mode.
● Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.
“Difficult to see”.
● Condensation*1 may have occurred. Turn off the
power, and wait for the camera body to become
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry
out before taking pictures.
*1
Dew drops can form in the camera when it is
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,
humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.
● This condition may occur when the camera is
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a
clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear,
however, in the final image.
“The light is caught in the picture”.
● Shooting with flash in dark situations results in
an image with many flash reflections on dust in
the air.
Date and time function
“Date and time settings return to the
default setting”.
● If the batteries are removed and left out of the
camera for about a day*2, the date and time
settings return to the default setting, and must
be reset.
*2
The time until the date and time settings return
to the default setting varies depending on how
long the batteries have been loaded.
“Setting the date, time and time zone” (p. 12)
Miscellaneous
“The camera makes a noise when taking
pictures”.
● The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This
is because the camera automatically performs
actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

resulting in fire.
• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a
low-temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will
get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this
state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s
body may be lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear gloves when
handling the camera in cold temperatures.
• Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the

LCD Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the
image may become vague, resulting in a playback
mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the
monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the
camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the
monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less
noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD
monitor may take a long time to turn on or its
color may change temporarily. When using the
camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea
to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD
monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with
high-precision technology. However, black spots
or bright spots of light may appear constantly on
the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the
angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the
spot may not be uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
