incorrectly.
The AC adapter isn't plugged in.
Is the Ready light red and
blinking? If so, the flash may be

Does the camera beep 3 times
when you press the shutter
button? If so, the camera memory
card may be full and unable to
store another picture.
Does the Status LCD display a
flashing symbol à

computer? If so, the camera
buttons aren't functional while the

Press the Power button.

then try again. You can decrease
the amount of time required to
charge the flash by turning off the
camera's LCD display.

from the card.

fully inserted in the memory
compartment slot.
Use the software controls to take a
picture, or disconnect the camera
from your computer.
Check the flash mode icon on the

blinking, then try again. You can
decrease the amount of time

batteries are weak, replace them
