You can't take a picture with the camera.
The flash may be recharging. Wait until the status light
(beside the viewfinder) turns green, and try again.
Make sure you've installed the CompactFlash memory
card in your camera. If it's already installed, you may
need to format or eject it (see Chapter 1). Check to see if
a message is displayed on the camera's LCD screen.
The CompactFlash memory card may be full. Check the
picture counter on the display panel. Erase some pictures
(see Chapter 6), or transfer the pictures to your
computer and then erase them (see Chapter 8). Or
replace your memory card with a new one.
The batteries may be low. If you see the low battery
icon, recharge or replace the batteries (see Chapter 1) or
use the optional AC adapter (see Appendix A).
The camera may be connected to your computer. When
it's connected, you can't use any of the controls on the
camera itself. See Chapter 12 for instructions on taking
pictures from your computer.
The Solar Assist panel may be open. Close the Solar
Assist panel if the camera is not being used in direct
sunlight.
The camera takes too long to take a picture.
You may be pressing the shutter all the way down at
once. This forces the camera to focus, make exposure
adjustments, and capture the image all at once. By
pressing the shutter button partially to focus, then the
rest of the way to capture the image, your camera can
process pictures more quickly (see Chapter 2).
You can turn on quick shot mode to take pictures
quickly (see Chapter 3).
The flash doesn't work.
Make sure the flash is not set to the flash off setting
Check the batteries and make sure they're installed
correctly. Recharge or replace the batteries if necessary.
You can't use the flash in continuous shooting mode.
