Troubleshooting, support, and warranties 57
The NiMH batteries
you are using were
recharged
incorrectly.
You must recharge all four NiMH
batteries after fully draining them four
times for the batteries to reach their
optimum capacity and performance.
The wrong
date and/or
time is
shown.
The batteries were
dead or were
removed from the
camera for more
than 10 minutes.
Replace the batteries and then reset the
date and time using the camera menus.
To avoid losing date and time
information, replace low batteries
promptly.
The incorrect
language is
set on the
camera.
The wrong language
was selected when
you started the
camera the first
time.
Change the camera language by using
the camera’s Setup menu.
A long delay
occurs after I
press the
shutter button
before the
camera takes
a picture.
The camera is still
saving the last
picture you took.
Wait a few seconds for the camera to
finish processing the image, and then
press the
SHUTTER button halfway down.
When a steady green light appears next
to the viewfinder, the camera is ready to
take another picture.
The flash is
recharging.
Wait until the flash icon on the status
LCD stops blinking before taking another
flash picture.
The light is low and
the flash is turned
off.
In dim light the camera requires a longer
exposure. Either hold the camera very
steady until it takes the picture; or
improve the lighting conditions or use
the flash.
A red light
appears next
to the
viewfinder
when I press
the shutter
button.
Space in memory is
insufficient for the
picture. (The status
LCD shows “0”
images remaining.)
Make room in memory by deleting or
unloading images, or select a lower
image quality setting.
If you do not have a CF memory card
installed, installing one will give you
room for more images. If you have a CF
memory card, remove it and see if you
have room in internal memory (the
status LCD shows a number other than
0), or install a new CF memory card. For
more information, see “Installing a CF
memory card” on page 44.
