Chapter 7: Troubleshooting 89 Troubleshooting Common Problems
The camera is powered
on, but when I press a
button, the camera does
not respond
Try powering the camera off and then on again.
Remove the batteries or unplug the HP AC power adapter. Then reinstall the
batteries or plug in the AC power adapter, and power on the camera again.
I always have to re-set the
date and time after I
change the batteries in
the camera or unplug the
HP AC power adapter
from the camera
This will happen if either you remove the batteries from the camera, or you remove
the batteries and unplug the HP AC power adapter, for more than 5 minutes. (Note
that even if the batteries are drained, the date and time will remain set as long as
you leave the drained batteries in the camera.)
When changing batteries, try to put the new batteries in within 5 minutes of when
you remove the old batteries. Similarly, if you are using the HP AC power adapter,
either leave batteries in the camera (even if the batteries are drained) when you
unplug the adapter, or unplug the adapter for less than 5 minutes at a time.
The rechargeable HP
NiMH batteries I’m using
don’t seem to power the
camera for very long
You must recharge all 4 HP NiMH batteries after fully draining them four times for
the batteries to reach their optimum capacity and performance. For more
information, see “Using the HP NiMH Batteries and Recharger” on page 108.
