Problem Remedy
Permanent white spots (dead
pixels) appear on the LCD
monitor.
Use the Dead Pixel Correction feature
to correct the dead pixels. See “Basic
Setup Menu” on page 34 for details.
Due to the nature of the CCD sensor,
dead pixels cannot be completely
eliminated.
The shutter cannot be released
and the memory card access
light flashes.
The battery power is too low. Charge
the battery and try again.
