Troubleshooting 51
I replace the
camera
batteries
frequently.
Extended use of the
image display
consumes battery
power. Unloading
images to your
computer can also
consume a lot of
battery power.
To extend the life of your batteries:
• Always use an AC adapter to power
the camera when you are using the
image display for an extended
period of time and when you are
unloading images to your computer.
• Limit your use of the image display.
The batteries you
are using are not the
recommended
higher-grade
batteries.
Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries.
Purchase higher-grade batteries, such
as “ultra-” or “premium-” grade titanium,
alkaline, or lithium batteries, or switch to
rechargeable NiMH batteries. These
batteries are available from various
battery manufacturers.
The camera turns on
and consumes
battery power while
you carry it loose in
a purse or backpack.
Always carry the camera securely in a
case.
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 image
display is too
bright or too
dim.
The brightness
setting is too low or
high for the ambient
light.
Adjust the brightness setting by using
the camera’s Setup menu.
The wrong
date or time
appears.
The batteries are
empty or were
removed from the
camera for more
than 15 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.
