Symptom

Problem

Solution

I cannot upload the images 

from  the  internal  memory 

of  the  PDC  2050  camera 

to PC.

The  CF  Card  is  inserted 

inside  the CF Card slot.

Remove  the  CF  card  from  the 

card slot. Refer to “Removing a 

CF  Card”  on  page  28  for  more 

detail.

I  cannot  switch  on  my 

PDC  2050  Camera    after 

inserting a CF Card.

The  CF  Card  is  not  inserted 

all  the  way  in  or  card  slot 

door is not closed properly.

Make  sure  the  CF  Card  is 

inserted all the way in and close 

the slot door properly.

I  press  the  shutter  button 

but no response.

The  PDC  2050  Camera  is 

processing the image.

Or 

The internal memory or CF 

card  memory is full.

Wait  for  this  process  to 

complete  and  then  take  your 

next image. 

Or 

Delete  some  images  in  the 

internal  memory  from  the 

camera or CF card.

The camera does not set to 

Playback mode.

Set  the  camera  to  Playback 

mode.

The  Flash  icon  and  the 

image  counter  on  the  LCD 

is  flashing  after  I  took  my 

last  image  using  the  Flash 

Mode.

The  PDC  2050  Camera  is 

processing  the  image  and             

recharging the flash unit.

Wait  for  the  flash  icon  on  the 

LCD  to  stop  flashing  and  then 

take another image.
