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.

75

Troubleshooting

Q5 I cannot use the flash strobe.

A: If the battery life icon indicates , the flash strobe may be disabled due to

insufficient voltage. Please change batteries immediately.

Q6 The pictures taken appear too blurred.

A: Please adjust the focus as appropriate.

Q7 The pictures or video clips taken appear too dark.

A: Make sure the environment of shooting or recording has adequate light. Or you

may consider using flash strobe when taking pictures.

Q8 Noises occur when viewing images on the LCD screen or on the computer.

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.

76

Troubleshooting

When connecting the camera to the computer or TV:

Q1 I can not view the video clips on my computer.

A: Please install Direct X 8.0 or above and Windows Media 9.0 Codecs to solve

this problem. See page 54 for details on installing the driver, or go to

http://www.microsoft.com to download the required files.

Q2 The driver installation failed.

A: 1) Please remove the driver and other related programs. Follow the installation

steps in the manual to reinstall the driver.

2) Make sure you install the driver before plugging in the USB cable.

Q3 The TV screen does not display after connecting the camera to the TV.

A: 1) Check if the camera is correctly connected to the TV.

2) Make sure the TV system is correctly set in the camera settings. Please see

page 50 for more details.

Q4 A conflict with other installed camera or capture device occurred.

A: If you have any other camera or capture device installed in your computer,

please completely remove the camera and its driver from the computer to avoid

the conflict.

Q5 Noises occur on my computer screen when using Video Conferencing.

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

the latest OS Update software:

- Windows XP users: please download Service Pack 1.

- Windows 2000 users: please download Service Pack 4.

After you download and install the software, proceed with step 2.

STEP 2. Update the Driver provided by the OS

Please note that the installation display may differ according to your computer

mainboard, language, and operation system. The screen shots in the following

case are for reference only.

Windows 2000 users:

1) Launch "Device Manager" and unfold the "Universal Serial Bus controllers"

container.

86

Troubleshooting on USB

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.
