Usage Tips
If the camera does not work as intended, or if
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
battery is installed.”
Insert recharged battery in the correct direction.
“Charging the battery” (p. 10), “Loading the battery
and the xD-Picture Card
™
(sold separately) into
the camera” (p. 11)
Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the
battery 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. 49)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter
button is pressed.”
Slide the lens barrier down.
Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera goes into
sleep mode and the monitor automatically turns
off when no operation is performed for 3 minutes.
When the shutter button is pressed in this state, no
picture is taken. To cancel sleep mode, press the
zoom lever or any other button. If the camera is
left unoperated for a further 12 minutes, it turns off
completely. To turn the camera on again, slide the
lens barrier up and then slide it down again.
Wait until
# (flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.

The camera may automatically stop working if the
internal temperature rises due to extended use.
Remove the battery and allow the camera to cool.
The outside of the camera may become hot during
use, but this is not a malfunction.
Monitor
“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.”
Vertical lines may appear on the screen 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 battery is removed and left out of the camera
for about 3 days *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 battery has been loaded.
“Setting the date and time” (p. 13)
Other
“There is a noise coming from inside the
camera during shooting.”
The movement of the lens may make a noise even
if the camera is not being operated because the
autofocus function is active when the camera is
ready to shoot.
