Troubleshooting
If you return the menu settings to the initial settings at the time of purchase, the condition may improve. Select [RESET] in the [SETUP] menu. (P24) � Battery and power source 1: The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on. � Is the battery inserted correctly? � Is the battery sufficiently charged? � Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged. 2: The LCD monitor turns off while the camera is turned on. � Does the picture appear on the Viewfinder? � Press the [EVF/LCD] button to switch to LCD monitor display. � Is power save mode (P23) activated? � Press the shutter button halfway to cancel these modes. � Is the battery exhausted? � Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged. 3: The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on. � Is the battery charge insufficient to operate the camera? � Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged. � Check the time set in power save mode. (P23) � If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted. Turn the camera off frequently by using power save mode (P23) etc.
� Recording 1: The picture cannot be recorded. � Is the mode dial correctly set? � Is there any memory remaining on the built-in memory or the card? � Before recording, delete some pictures. (P36) 2: The recorded picture is whitish. The lens is dirty. � The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. If the lens is dirty, turn the camera off, retract the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth. 3: The recorded picture is too bright or dark. � Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P48) 4: 2 or 3 pictures are taken at one time. � Is auto bracket (P49) or burst mode set? (P51) � Is the self-timer set to [10S/3PICTURES]? (P47) 5: The subject is not focused properly. � The focus range varies depending on the recording mode. Rotate the mode dial to set the proper mode for the distance to the subject. � Is the subject beyond the focus range of the camera? (P28, 54) � Have you taken a picture with jitter? 6: The recorded picture is blurred. The optical image stabilizer is not effective. � The shutter speed will become slower and the optical image stabilizer function may not work properly when taking pictures especially in dark places. In this case, we recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures. (P27) We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P47) when taking pictures with a slow shutter speed.
