Troubleshooting

In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static
electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it
back in again. After these procedures are done, if the camera operates
correctly, it does not require any repairs.
We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service
center.

Cause
Check if battery is installed. If not, install a
fully charged battery.
Check the orientation of battery. (p.38)
Install a fully charged battery, or use the
AC adapter kit (optional). (p.40)
Wait until charging is finished.
Insert an SD Memory Card with available
space or delete unwanted images. (p.42,
p.158)
Wait until recording is finished.
Autofocus cannot work well for subjects
that have low contrast (the sky, white
walls, etc.), dark colors, intricate designs,
rapidly-moving objects or scenery shot
through a window or a net-like pattern.
Lock focus on another object located at
the same distance as your subject, then
aim at the target and press the shutter
release button fully. Alternatively, use
manual focus. (p.90)
Position the subject in the focus frame on
the monitor. If the subject is outside the
focusing area, aim the camera at the
subject and lock the focus, then compose
a picture and press the shutter release
button fully. (p.89)
