The batteries don’t last as long as they should.

Camera doesn’t shoot when the shutter release button is full-pressed.
The camera is still writing the previous shot to memory, or the flash is still charging.
➔
Take your finger off the shutter release button and wait until the green lamp’s blink
rate slows down. Then try again. (pp.50, 85)
There’s a problem with the card.

Refer to “Error Messages” on page 200 for more information.
The card is full.
➔
Change to a different card (p.32), or delete some of the images on the existing card
to free up some space (p.74). To recover even more space, transfer all images from
the card to your computer and then use the “Erase Card” function (p.151).

➔
Replace the batteries. (If the green lamp is blinking, wait for the lamp to go off
before making the replacement.)
