Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem My camera indicates I can store 4000 images regardless of the Image Quality setting. When you turn on your camera with a memory card installed, the camera indicates the number of images you can put on the memory card at the current Image Quality setting. This camera supports storing a maximum of 4000 images on a memory card.
Problem It takes a long time to “Delete All” images from my memory card. Having a large number of images stored on a memory card increases the time the camera takes to delete them. Instead of deleting them, format the memory card (see "Install and format an optional memory card” on page 6).
Problem The Power light is on but the Image Display is off, or the camera seems stuck and won't operate.
  • Slide 00 to a different position or press any camera button to reactivate the Image Display.
  • Reset the camera (see "Resetting the camera" on page 32).
Problem The camera responds sluggishly when trying to review images. See "Storage" on page 43 and "Memory capacity" on page 43 for tips about memory cards.
Problem Video recording terminates abruptly. The video is saved successfully, but it is shorter than expected. Replace your memory card with a faster card. Look for cards marked High Performance, Pro, Ultra, or High Speed.
Problem Video recording terminates abruptly and the video will not play back.
  • Remove the memory card and see if the video is stored in internal memory. If so, transfer the video to a memory card (see Move Images to Card under "Using the Playback Menu" on page 18) or to your computer (see "Transferring and printing images" on page 23).
  • If the video is stored on a memory card, transfer the video to your computer (see "Transferring and printing images" on page 23), then reformat the card (see "Install and format an optional memory card" on page 6).
Problem The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch. This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera and allow the camera to cool. Then examine the camera and the batteries for signs of possible damage.
Problem For best image quality, turn off the camera when not using. Always store the camera in a cool place.
