Tips before you start taking pictures

The battery is not fully charged
• Charge the battery with the charger.
The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold
• Battery performance declines in low temperatures, and the charge may not be sufficient to turn
on the camera. Remove the battery and warm it by putting it in your pocket for a while.
No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed
The camera has turned off automatically
• To save battery power, if there is no operation even while the camera is on (monitor is lit), the
camera goes into sleep mode after a fixed period of time and the camera stops operating.
When this happens, the LCD monitor’s light will go off. The camera will turn off automatically if
there is no further operation for 4 hours. The camera will not work until it is turned back on.
g “Sleep timer” (P. 82), “Auto power off” (P. 84)
The flash is charging
• When the flash is activated and the # symbol in the control panel or the viewfinder is blinking,
this indicates that the flash is charging. Wait for the blinking to stop, then press the shutter
button.

important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.
