Troubleshooting and error codes
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted? | Taking photos and the object is within 80cm, use Macro Mode which is the Submenu of Effect Mode. |
| The flash is not working. | The camcorder is in Macro Mode / 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 camcorder instead of PC (Please refer to the detail Format instruction in Section 5). |
| Why is Camcorder Flash not active when taking pictures? | Make sure that the focus range is NOT set at Macro mode, as flash is disabled in this mode. Scroll through Picture mode and set Flash as Auto; note that Flash OFF is the default pre-set mode for normal picture - taking. In Auto mode camcorder flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example). |
| Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark? | Camcorder extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep camcorder (and photographed subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been taken. |
| How do I charge battery? | Computer will not charge battery when connected. You must use ONLY the supplied AC charger. Camcorder must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging has been completed. |
