Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures. Monitor "Difficult to see". Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures. This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash reflections on dust in the air. Troubleshooting Battery "The camera does not work even when batteries are installed". 11), "Charging the battery with the included USB-AC adapter" (p. 11) Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while. Card/Internal memory "An error message is displayed". 50) Date and time function "Date and time settings return to the default setting". If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about a day*1, the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset. *1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded. 15) Shutter button "No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed". To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the q button to switch to the shooting mode. Miscellaneous "The camera makes a noise when taking pictures". The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.
