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.
