Battery Battery

Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.
"Inserting the battery and card" (p. 11), "Charging the
battery with the included USB-AC adapter" (p. 12)
●
Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due
to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and
warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory Card/Internal memory
"An error message is displayed".
"Error message" (p. 60)
Shutter button Shutter button
"No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed".
●
Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically goes
into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no
operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on.
No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully
pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or
other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode
before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another
12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the n
button to turn the camera on.
● Press the q button to switch to the shooting mode.
● Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before taking
pictures.
●
With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may
increase, resulting in automatic shutdown. If this occurs,
remove the battery from the camera and wait until the
camera has suffi ciently cooled. The camera's external
temperature may also increase during use, however this is
normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Monitor Monitor
"Diffi cult to see".
●
Condensation may have occurred. Turn off the power,
and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to
the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking
pictures.
"The light is caught in the picture".
●
Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in an image
with many fl ash refl ections on dust in the air.
Date and time function Date and time function
"Date and time settings return to the default setting".
●
If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for
*1
about 3 days , the date and time settings return to the
default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time settings return to
the default setting varies depending on how long the
batteries have been loaded.
"Language, date, time, and time zone" (p. 15)
Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
"The camera makes a noise when taking pictures".
●
The camera may activate the lens and make a noise
even if no operation is performed. This is because the
camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as
far as it is ready to shoot.
"The compass heading is not correct or the compass
needle fl ashes".
●
The compass does not function as expected in the
vicinity of strong electromagnetic fi elds such as those
produced by televisions, microwaves, large electric
motors, radio transmitters, and high-voltage power
lines. Normal function can sometimes be restored by
moving the camera through a fi gure eight while rotating
your wrist.
