Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| The camera does not turn on | Battery is not installed | Check if a battery is installed. If not, install a fully charged battery. |
| The battery power is low | Install a fully charged battery, or use the AC Adapter kit K-AC1202 (optional). (p.42) | |
| The shutter cannot be released | The built-in flash is charging | E blinks red while the built-in flash is charging. Wait until charging is finished. |
| There is no available space on the SD Memory Card | Insert an SD Memory Card with available space or delete unwanted images. (p.45, p.163) | |
| Recording | Wait until recording is finished. | |
| Autofocus does not work | The subject is difficult to focus on | Autofocus cannot work well for subjects that have low contrast (the sky, white walls, etc.), dark colors, intricate designs, rapidly-moving objects or scenery shot through a window or a net-like pattern. Lock focus on another object located at the same distance as your subject, then aim at the camera at the subject and press the shutter release button fully. Alternatively, use manual focus. (p.98) |
