Usage Tips

If the camera does not work as intended, or if
an error message is displayed on the screen,
and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the
information below to fix the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
"The camera does not work even when
battery is installed"
●
Insert recharged battery in the correct direction.
"Charging the battery" (p. 10), "Loading
the battery and the xD-Picture Card™ (sold
separately) into the camera" (p. 11)
●
Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the
battery out of the camera, and warm it by putting it
in your pocket for a while.

"Error message" (p. 59)
Shutter button
"No picture is taken when the shutter
button is pressed"
●
Slide the lens barrier down.
●
Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off
if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the
camera is turned on (when the lens barrier is
open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken
even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this
mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to
restore the camera from sleep mode before taking
a picture. If the camera is left for 15 minutes, it
automatically turns off (the monitor turns off). Slide
the lens barrier down again or press o to
turn the camera on.

Set the mode dial to a position other than q,
R and 6.
●
Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.
Monitor
"Difficult to see"
●
Condensation* may have formed. Turn off the
1
power and wait for the camera body to become
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry
out before taking pictures.
Dew drops can form in the camera when it is
*1
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,
humid room.
"Vertical lines appear on the screen"
●
Vertical lines may appear on the screen at
times such as when the camera is pointed at an
extremely bright subject under a clear sky. The
lines do not appear, however, in the final image.
"The light is caught in the picture"
●
Shooting with flash in dark situations results in
an image with many flash reflections on dust in
the air.
Date and time function
"Date and time settings return to the
default setting"
●
If the battery is removed and left out of the camera
for about 1 day* , the date and time settings return
2
to the default setting and must be reset.
The time until the date and time settings return
*2
to the default setting varies depending on how
long the battery have been loaded.
