Shooting tips and information
Tips before you start taking pictures
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded
The battery is not fully charged
• Charge the battery with the charger.
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold
• Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient to
turn on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.
Cannot use the card
• If the card's contact area is dirty, the [CARD SETUP] screen may display without reading
the card. In this case, select [xD CARD CLEAN], and press o. Then, remove the card and
wipe the contact area with a soft, dry cloth.
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed
The camera is in sleep mode
• To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor
turns off if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the camera is turned on (when the lens
cover is open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully
pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from
sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for 15 minutes, it automatically turns
off (the lens cover closes and the monitor turns off). Press o to turn the camera on.
The mode is set to the playback mode
• This mode displays the recorded picture on the monitor. Press K/h/s to select a
shooting mode.
The flash is charging
• Wait until the # (flash charge) mark stops blinking before taking the picture.
