Troubleshooting
When using the camera:
Q1 The camera can not be switched on normally.
A: 1) The batteries may be out of power. Please change the batteries.
2) Make sure the batteries are correctly installed.
Q2 The camera is still powered on, but the LCD screen does not display.
A: If the camera stays idle for over one minute, the LCD screen will automatically
shut down to save power. You can press any button except the power button to
reactivate the display.
Q3 Can not take pictures or video clips when pressing the Record/Shutter
button.
A: 1) The storage media may be full. Please free some space from the SD/MMC
card or the internal memory.
2) Check if the camera is recharging the flash strobe.
3) If you are using a SD card, check if the card is set to "protected".
4) If the LCD screen displays "MEMORY ERROR" or "CARD ERROR" message,
please set the camera to Settings mode and format the storage media.
Q4 I did not delete the pictures and video clips, but can not find them in the
memory.
A: 1) Check if you take pictures and video clips and then insert a SD/MMC card.
The camera will use the card as the main storage media and files previously
stored in the internal memory will be inaccessible until the card is removed.
2) Check if the "Index" option (see page 39) is set to displaying a particular file
type. If yes, you can set the option to "All" or restart the camera to access other
files.

A: Check if the flicker setting matches the place you are staying. For more
information, please refer to the "Flicker Settings Table" on page 70.
Q9 I cannot play MP3 and the title displays strange characters.
A: This problem is probably caused by double-byte characters (such as Chinese,
Korean...etc.). Please rename these files before copying them to the camera.

Troubleshooting on USB
1. If you connect your camera to the USB 2.0 port on your computer and find that
your computer cannot correctly detect camera, please read the following text for
solution:
1. Windows 98SE/ME users:
Windows 98SE/ME does not fully support USB 2.0 port connection. Please
consider using another port for connection. Or you may upgrade your system to
Windows 2000 or XP, and then proceed with the following steps to download and
install the service pack and driver.
2. Windows XP/2000 users:
After connecting your camera to the USB 2.0 port on your computer, if the
computer does not work, or you cannot use your camera and the computer
displays a "Hardware not found" message, it is probably because your current
operation system does not fully support USB 2.0 port. Please consider using
another port for connection, or follow step 1 to install the necessary software:
STEP 1. Download the OS Update software from the Internet
Please go to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp to download

2. When you use your computer to view the video clips stored on the camera, the
bigger the file size is, the longer it would take to load the file. If you encounter
problems related to taking a long time loading video clips, we recommend you:
1) Copy the video clips to your computer and then view them on the computer.
2) Upgrade your media player to Media Player 9.0 or above, so that you can
benefit from the more efficient playing speed.
