Cannot power on my
camera even though
batteries are installed.

The camera is powered on,
but the LCD display does
not display.

Cannot take pictures and
movies when pressing the

Record / Shutter button.

I did not delete the picture
and movie, but cannot find
the data in the CF card.

Answer

The batteries may be out of power, please
change the batteries.

Make sure that the batteries are installed
correctly.

If it is idle over 3 minutes, the camera will
shut down automatically, please switch
the camera on. (p. 9 )

Make sure that the LCD on/off switch is
set to on.

If it is idle over 60 seconds, the LCD
display will be turned off, please press
any button to reactivate the display.

The storage is full. Please free some
space of the CF card or internal memory.

If the "MEMORY ERROR" or "CARD
ERROR" message shows on the LCD
display, please set the camera to the
Setting mode and format the storage
media.

Check if your files are stored in the
camera's built-in memory. The camera will
use the card as the main storage media,
and files previously stored in the internal
memory will become inaccessible until the
card is removed.
