  • Page 38: Section 12 Troubleshooting

    1. The flash is not working. The battery power is low. The camera is in DC power mode. In flash auto mode, camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example). 2. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking. The “!” means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by the camera instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5). Or please change the SD/SDHC/SDXC card to a high speed one. 3. Why do some of my indoor photos look blurry and dark? The camera extends photo exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camera (and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking photos. The shutter will sound when photos are being taken.
