the magnetic object.
The number of
available shots did not
change when I took a
picture.

image size is small.

the quality mode and the subject and
is not a problem.

different device.

this camera. You can use FORMAT to
erase the image, but this will erase all
the images on the card. ( p.6-5)

The battery pack terminals are soiled. Wipe the terminals with a soft clean
cloth.

LED flashes slowly.
The charging protection circuit was
activated and halted charging
because the ambient temperature is
too high or too low.
Charge the battery when the ambient
temperature is between 10°C and
30°C. (Charging is possible between
5°C and 40°C but will take slightly
longer.)
