Troubleshooting and Support

The camera 
responds very 
sluggishly 
when trying to 
review 
images.

A slow optional 
memory card 
that is installed 
or too many 
images on the 
card can affect 
actions like 
scrolling 
through images, 
magnifying, 
deleting, etc.

See pages 166 and 169 for 
tips about memory cards.

The camera 
may be 
processing an 
image.

Wait until the Memory light 
turns off, indicating that the 
camera has finished 
processing.

The camera 
gets warm (or 
even hot) to 
the touch.

You are using 
the optional 
HP AC power 
adapter to 
power the 
camera or to 
charge the 
batteries in the 
camera, or you 
have been using 
the camera for 
a prolonged 
period of time 
(15 minutes or 
longer).

This is normal. However, if 
anything seems out of the 
ordinary, turn off the camera, 
unplug the camera from the 
HP AC power adapter, and 
allow the camera to cool. Then 
examine the camera and the 
batteries for signs of possible 
damage.
