Questions and Answers
Q: What kind of batteries should I use?
A: Use two lithium Panasonic CR-123A batteries
or Duracell DL-123A batteries. Don't install
one new battery with an old one. Change
them both at the same time.
Q: How long will the batteries last?
A: Since long-life lithium batteries are used,
approximately 20 rolls (24-exposure, half the
shots with flash) can be taken. When the
frequency with which the flash and zoom are
used is less, the batteries will last longer.
Q: The camera does not work. What should I do?
A: (1) Make sure the power switch is set to ON.
(2) Check to make sure that the batteries are
loaded and inserted correctly.
(3) If the film has been rewound, the camera
won't work until new film is inserted.
Q: The camera does not focus correctly. What
should I do?
A: The camera may not focus correctly in some
cases. Focusing is difficult when, for example,
the subject is moving quickly, if the camera is
shaking, or if the subject is one of those with
which focusing is difficult. (See "Subjects with
which autofocus is difficult" on p. 44)
Q: Why doesn't the camera focus although the
AF Illuminator lights?
A: It may not focus if the subject is too close, too
far or if the subject reflects too little light
(when it is blue or black).
Q: Why won't the shutter fire when I press the
shutter release button.
A: (1) Probably because the camera hasn't
focused. Check the AF indicator in the
Viewfinder.
(2) The flash may still be in the process of
charging. Check for the
Viewfinder.
Q: The flash doesn't fire. What should I do?
A: Check to make sure if the flash has popped
up.
Q: The camera does not operate in cold weather.
What can I do?
A: Battery performance will be reduced
temporarily by low temperatures, so it is
recommended that you try to use the camera
within a reasonable temperature range.
