Troubleshooting

Is the battery sufficiently charged?
To conserve the battery, the unit automatically turns
off if the unit is not operated for about 5 minutes. To
resume unit use, set the mode dial to [OFF] and then
the desired mode position.
When [POWER SAVE] is set to [OFF], the unit does
not turn off automatically. (P.78)
Is the battery run down?
Charge the battery if the remaining battery life
indication is flashing or the [LOW BATTERY] message
appears on the LCD monitor. (P.16)
● Is the battery sufficiently charged?
● Is the unit being used in low temperatures?
The battery is affected by ambient temperature. In
cold places, battery availability shortens.
● Is the battery at the end of its service-life?
If the battery lasts only a short while when fully
charged, it has reached the end of its service-life.
The lithium ion battery used with this unit may swell if
charged/discharged often, but this is no risk to safety.
● Is the LCD monitor open?
● Check that the card access lamp is out, then eject
the SD card, remove the battery or disconnect the
AC adaptor, wait about 1 minute, then reinsert the
battery or reconnect the AC adaptor. Then about
1 minute later, turn the unit off and turn back on.
(Performing the above operation while the SD card
is being accessed can damage data.)
