Operation Bar Troubleshooting

Image Buffer/Transfer Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause and Remedy

Some buttons 
on the operation 
bar are not 
displayed.

• The access level is set to level 1 on the General User page.

Set the access level to level 2 (see page 57 of the Operating 
Instructions on the CD-ROM), or log in to the camera as an 
administrator.

Problem

Cause and Remedy

The camera 
does not 
transfer an 
image by E-mail 
or FTP.

• An error occurred during transmission to the E-mail or FTP 

server.

See the Protocol column on the Status page (see page 99 of 
the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM), and check if the 
error is displayed.

• The default gateway and DNS server addresses are not 

assigned correctly.

Assign them correctly (see page 31 of the Operating 
Instructions on the CD-ROM).

• Your login ID and password for the E-mail or FTP are invalid.

Make sure that you enter your correct login ID and password.

• The camera cannot transfer the image because [No 

authentication] is set on the Trigger page.

Change the authentication method to [POP before SMTP 
authentication] or [SMTP authentication], and set the Login 
ID and Password (if you select [POP before SMTP 
authentication], set the POP3 Server IP Address), then try 
transferring by E-mail again. (See page 60 and page 70 of 
the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM)

• For E-mail transfer, the SMTP server supports authentication 

methods other than the PLAIN and LOGIN methods of SMTP 
authentication. For example, CRAM-MD5.

For SMTP authentication of the camera, only the PLAIN and 
LOGIN methods are supported. Confirm with your ISP.
