Troubleshooting and error codes
| If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted? | Try to switch between Macro and Normal Mode. (Macro Mode: For object in distance about 1cm to 80cm, Normal Mode: For object in distance beyond 10cm) |
| The light is not working. | The battery power is low. |
| The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the "!" marking. | The "!" means the SD card is low speed or having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by camera instead of PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5). |
| Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark? | Camera extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep camera (and photographed subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been taken. |
| How do I charge battery? | You must use the supplied AC charger or USB cable. Camera must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging has been completed. |
