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 it by putting it 

in your pocket for a while.

Card/Internal memory

“An error message is displayed”

“Error message” (p. 44)

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 after 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 button or other buttons to 

restore the camera from sleep mode before taking 

a picture. If the camera is left for 12 minutes, it 

automatically turns off.  

Press the 

n

 button to turn on the camera.

Press the 

K

 button to set a shooting mode.

Wait until 

#

(flash charge) stops blinking before 

taking pictures.


Monitor

“Difficult to see”

Condensation*

1

 may have formed. 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 at 

times such as when the camera is pointed at an 

extremely bright subject under a clear sky. The 

lines do not appear, however, in the final still 

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 1 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 battery have 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.
