Memory Card Problems
If your camera won’t start up properly or displays a “card error,
write lock
”
, first check to be sure your card is not “Locked”. On
most SD cards there is a switch on the side of the card. If the card
is locked, you will not be able to save any photos. If the card is not
locked, but this message persists, you can attempt to clean the
contacts in the card holder by blowing canned air into the card slot.
This will often resolve the issue.
If you have other issues, you may have to try a different brand of memory card. We
have found that some memory cards can run slow and do not always run well.

Cold Weather Problems
If your camera shuts down in the cold

it may be too cold for the batteries. Refer to
“
Battery
Specifications” for recommended battery types.
Extreme cold weather does have an adverse effect on the LCD display; this does not
inhibit the camera’s ability to function; it just makes it hard to read the display.
Battery Life Less than Expected
NiMH batteries have decreased life in hot and cold weather. They will run the
camera, but they will have decreased run time. It is not unusual to see battery life
drop off 50% or more when temperatures are above
90˚ Fahrenheit or below 30˚
Fahrenheit. This will not damage your NiMH batteries; their charge just runs down
faster.
If you notice that nighttime illumination decreases over time, you should change your
batteries sooner, or switch to Lithium batteries.
