unable to store an image at
the image-quality setting on

setting (p. 41).

use the macro mode (p. 33).
Use the focus-lock function to
focus on an object at the same
distance as the subject (p. 22).

mode.
Cancel the macro mode setting
(p. 33).
Problem
Cause
Solution
Pictures are
not sharp in
low-light
situations.
Pictures are taken indoors
or in low-light situations
without flash. Slow shutter
speeds result in blurred
images when the camera is
hand-held.
Use a tripod or use the flash (p.
26).
While using flash,
the pictures are
too dark.
The subject is beyond the flash
range (p. 27).
Move closer to the
subject.
No-image
message appears
in playback mode.
Different memory type is
selected.
Select the memory type
(internal memory or
memory card) where the
images were saved (p.
45).
Error or zoom-
error message
appears.
Remove and reinsert the batteries, or unplug and
reconnect the AC adapter.

compensation
display turns red.
Scene is too bright or dark and
outside the exposure range of
the camera.
Change the setting until
the display is white.
Monitor turns off
and the orange
indicator lamp
blinks.
Flash is charging.
Wait until the monitor
image is visible and the
orange indicator lamp
glows.
AA Ni-MH batteries are
exhausted.
Ni-MH batteries must be
charged before use.
The camera
will not work.
If the camera does not function normally, turn it off, remove and reinsert
the batteries, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. If the camera has
become hot with extended use, wait for it to cool before removing or
disconnecting the power supply. Always turn the camera off with the main
switch, otherwise the memory card may be damaged and camera
settings reset.
