If the following problem occurs...

Problem	Possible causes and solutions
I cannot turn on the camera.	The battery may be exhausted. Please charge the camera.
The battery is exhausted quickly.	If you use the camera in a very cold environment, the battery will drain quickly. Please keep the camera warm before shooting.
Camera shuts down during use.	The battery level may be low. Please charge the camera.
Charging does not start.	Make sure that the USB power adapter plug is properly connected to the power outlet. Turn off the camera when charging it. If power is on camera will not charge.
It takes too long to charge.	At low temperatures, charging may take some time.
The self-timer lamp flashes while charging.	Charge the battery in a temperature range of +5°C to +40°C. If you cannot charge the battery within this range, please contact our support center.
I cannot shoot when I press the shutter button.	Make sure that the power is on. If the battery level is low, please charge the camera. If the internal memory or memory card is full, insert a new memory card or delete unnecessary images. Use a memory card formatted with this unit. If the contact surface of the memory card (gold part) is dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. The memory card may be broken. Please insert a new memory card.
I cannot focus the camera.	Use the AF/AE lock to shoot subjects that are difficult to focus on.
The flash does not fire.	Check that the suppressed flash setting has not been selected. Select a setting other than the suppressed flash setting.
Even though the flash fired, the image is dark.	Check that you are not too far from the subject. Please shoot within the flash range. Approximately 50 cm to 1.5 m. Hold the camera correctly so that you do not obstruct the flash with your fingers.
The image is blurred.	If the lens has dirt on it such as fingerprints, clean the lens. Make sure that the AF frame is green before taking a photo.
The camera does not work properly.	There may be a temporary malfunction. Please press the reset button. If it still does not work properly, please contact our repair service center for repair. The battery may be exhausted. Please charge the camera.
The film pack does not load or does not load smoothly.	Please use FUJIFILM instant film "INSTAX mini" (other films cannot be used). Align the yellow mark on the film pack with the yellow alignment mark on the camera body to load the film.
The film does not unload.	The film may be misaligned due to shocks such as vibration or dropping. Please load a new film pack. If the film is jammed, turn off the camera and turn it on again. If the problem persists, remove the jammed film and then load a new film pack.
Some or all of the finished prints are white.	Do not open the film door until all film exposures have been used. Unexposed film will be prematurely exposed if the door is opened. Prematurely exposed film will be white with no images.
The print is uneven.	Do not shake, bend, fold or hold the print immediately after it is printed. Do not obstruct the film ejection slot.
