TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Configuration and settings of computer and printer need to be adjusted.

Subject is too close.

The flash is not needed.

Lighting condition is too bright.

The subject is too far away for the flash to be effective.

Flash is not on.

The subject is in front of a bright light.

Lighting condition is too dark.

There was sufficient lighting for the picture, so the flash did not fire. This happens when the camera is set to Auto Flash.

Camera’s flash has been turned off.

Flash did not charge.

Selected the Continuous or Sport mode.

Depends on the level of usage. Auto-Focusing, zooming in and out are some of the functions that tend to draw more power.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The display setting of the computer can be adjusted via the Control Panel’s Display section or the actual display settings of the monitor. The printer’s setting can be adjusted via the Control Panel’s Printers. Refer to the user’s documentation that comes with the computer and printer.

Move the subject further away from the camera.

Change the camera setting to Auto Flash. See p. 12.

Decrease exposure compensation. See p.22.

Move the subject closer to the camera, or move the camera closer to the subject.

Select “Auto Flash” or “Flash On” setting.

Change the subject’s position if possible or move to another location to take the picture of the subject from another angle.

Increase the exposure compensation. See p. 22.

This is normal, as your camera’s electronic light sensor is programmed to only fire the flash when needed.

Select “Auto Flash” or “Flash On” setting.

Ensure that the Ready LED has stopped blinking before taking a picture.

When the Continuous or Sport mode is selected, the flash is disabled.

To save power, turn off the LCD. When the camera is not in used, power it off. Economize on the use of the Auto-Focus and zooming functions

Use the Marco mode only for shooting distances between 2.9ft (15cm) ~ 2ft (60cm). Otherwise, use the normal capture mode.

Clean the lens with professional lens cleansing paper or use a piece of lint-free, soft-dust-free cloth to gently wipe the lens.

Make sure the subject is centered in the focus mark when composing the image.

Reset the white balance setting to Auto, or for the specific lighting in the surrounding area.

Aim the camera at something white such as a white piece of paper, press the Shutter button half-way to adjust the white balance to the subject’s lighting condition.
