Troubleshooting Guide
If the power is cut off while an image is being recorded to the card, the
access lamp will light/blink for a few sec. When the image recording is
completed, the power will turn off automatically.
Use a fully-charged battery (p.24).
The battery performance might be degraded. See the [7 Battery
info.] menu to check the battery’s performance level (p.192). If the
battery performance is poor, replace the battery with a new one.
If you keep displaying the Quick Control screen (p.38) or shooting with
Live View function (p.107) for a prolonged period, the number of
possible shots will decrease.
Auto power off is in effect. If you do not want auto power off to take
effect, set the [5 Auto power off] menu to [Off].
The card is not properly inserted (p.29).
If the card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to
make room (p.29, 142).
If you try to focus in One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation
light <o> in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken. Press the
shutter button halfway again to focus, or focus manually (p.35, 84).
The access lamp still blinks even when the power switch is
set to <2>.
The battery becomes exhausted quickly.
The camera turns off by itself.
