Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Cause and Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| The subject is out of focus in the recorded image. | The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame. |
| The flash does not fire. | 1) If ⚡ (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 34). 2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 15). 3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ⚡ (Flash Off) is selected, change to a different flash mode (page 34) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 49). |
| A red ⚡ (Flash Off) icon appears on the monitor screen and the flash does not fire. | The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO authorized service center or your original retailer. Note that though the flash will not fire, you still can use the camera for non-flash shots. |
| Camera powers down during Self-timer countdown. | The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 15). |
| The monitor screen image is out of focus. | 1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the image. Focus the image (page 54). 2) You may be using 🌿 (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 54). 3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or ∞ (Infinity) when shooting a close-up shot. Use the 🌿 (Macro) for close ups (page 54). |
| There is a vertical line in the monitor screen image. | Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie. |
| There is digital noise in images. | 1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject. 2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with ⚡ (Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 34) or use lights for illumination. |
| A recorded image was not saved. | 1) Camera power may have been turned off before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. If the battery indicator shows , charge the battery as soon as possible (page 17). 2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete. |
| Though available lighting is bright, the faces of people in the image are dark. | Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash mode setting to ⚡ (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 34), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 64). |
| Night shots come out bad. | Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 49) when shooting at night. • Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only) • Night Scene Portrait (for shooting people against night scenery) |
| Subjects are too dark when shooting images in a seashore or ski area. | Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to ⚡ (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 34), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 64). |
| Digital zoom (including HD zoom) does not work. The zoom bar indicates zoom only up to a zoom factor of 4.0. | 1) The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom (page 61). 2) Date stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off date stamping (page 108). |
| The image is out of focus during movie recording. | 1) Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range. 2) The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 120). |
| Playback The color of the playback image is different from what appears on the monitor screen when shooting. |
Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly into the lens when you are shooting. Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens. |
| Images are not displayed. | This camera cannot display non-DCF images recorded onto a memory card using another digital camera. |
| Images cannot be edited (with resizing, trimming, rotation). | Note that you cannot edit the following types of snapshots. • Movies • Snapshots recorded with another camera |
| Other The wrong date and time are displayed, or the wrong date and time are being stored along with image data. |
The date and time setting is off. Set the correct date and time (page 108). |
| The messages on the display are in the wrong language. | The wrong display language is selected. Change the display language setting (page 109). |
| Images cannot be transferred over a USB connection. | 1) The USB cable may not be connected securely. Check all connections. 2) The wrong USB communication protocol is selected. Select the correct USB communication protocol in accordance with the type of device you are connecting (pages 87, 96). 3) If the camera is not turned on, turn it on. 4) Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if you connect via a USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer's USB port. |
| Language selection screen appears when the camera is turned on. | 1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the camera or the camera may have been left with a dead battery. Check the camera setup (pages 18, 109). 2) There may be a problem with the camera's memory data. If this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the camera's setup (page 113). After that, configure each setting. If the language selection screen does not re-appear when you turn the camera on, it means that the camera's memory management data has been restored. If the same message appears after you turn power back on, contact your retailer or a CASIO authorized service center. |
| I configured the date and time settings after purchasing the camera, but they become incorrect after I remove the battery from the camera. | Load the camera's battery and reconfigure the time and date settings (page 18). Do not remove the battery from the camera for at least 24 hours after configuring time and date settings. After that, the settings will not be reset if you remove the battery. • If you leave the battery loaded for more than 24 hours after setting the date and time, and they still become incorrect after you remove the battery, it could mean that the camera's setting memory is defective. Contact your retailer or a CASIO authorized service center. |
