Troubleshooting
In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static
electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it
back in again. After these procedures are done, if the camera operates
correctly, it does not require any repairs.
We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service
center.
Problem Cause Remedy
The camera
does not turn
on
Battery is not
installed
Check if battery is installed. If not, install a
fully charged battery.
Battery is not
installed properly
Check the orientation of battery. (p.38)
The battery power
is low
Install a fully charged battery, or use the
AC adapter kit (optional). (p.40)
The shutter
cannot be
released
The built-in flash is
charging
Wait until charging is finished.
There is no
available space on
the SD Memory
Card
Insert an SD Memory Card with available
space or delete unwanted images. (p.42,
p.158)
Recording Wait until recording is finished.
Autofocus does
not work
The subject is
difficult to focus on
Autofocus cannot work well for subjects
that have low contrast (the sky, white
walls, etc.), dark colors, intricate designs,
rapidly-moving objects or scenery shot
through a window or a net-like pattern.
Lock focus on another object located at
the same distance as your subject, then
aim at the target and press the shutter
release button fully. Alternatively, use
manual focus. (p.90)
The subject is not in
the focusing area
Position the subject in the focus frame on
the monitor. If the subject is outside the
focusing area, aim the camera at the
subject and lock the focus, then compose
a picture and press the shutter release
button fully. (p.89)
