Possible cause
You have an AC
power adapter
connected to the
camera, but it is not
connected to a
power source.
The camera is off.
The camera is
connected to a
computer.
The batteries are
empty.
The camera needs
to be reset.
Extended use of the
image display
consumes battery
power. Unloading
images to your
computer can also
consume a lot of
battery power.
The camera turns on
and consumes
battery power while
you carry it loose in
a purse or backpack.
Solution
When you have an AC adapter
connected to the camera, the camera
does not use battery power even if the
adapter is not connected to a power
source. If you want to use battery power,
disconnect the AC adapter from the
camera. If you want to use AC power,
connect the AC adapter to a working
electrical outlet.
Turn the camera on.
If the status LCD displays the letters PC,
the camera buttons do not respond.
Replace the batteries.
Turn the camera off and then on again.
Remove the batteries and reinstall them.
If you are using an AC power adapter,
disconnect the adapter from the camera,
remove and reinstall the batteries, and
then reconnect the adapter.
To extend the life of your batteries:
• Always use an AC adapter to power
the camera when you are using the
image display for an extended
period of time and when you are
unloading images to your computer.
• Limit your use of the image display.
• Do not use ordinary alkaline
batteries. Purchase higher-grade
batteries, such as "ultra-" or
"premium-" grade alkaline or lithium
batteries, or switch to rechargeable
NiMH batteries. These batteries are
available from various battery
manufacturers.
Always carry the camera securely in a
case.
