Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
1.If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?
Try to switch between Macro and Normal Mode in order to check the lens whether on the proper position
or not for the object(s).(Macro Mode: For object(s) in distance of 1cm-30cm, Normal Mode: For object(s)
in distance beyond 30 cm)
2.How to shoot correctly?
First properly adjust the focus, then after pressing the shutter button, the LCD shows a “funnel” marking
in the center of the screen to record the image. Firmly hold your camera before the “funnel” marking
disappears, then you can get a clear picture.
3.The ash is not working.
The camera is in Macro Mode.
The battery power is low.
4.When recording, the digital zoom does not function.
If the “Stabilization” function is activated when recording movies, the “Tele/Wide” button for digital
zooming will be disabled.
5.The les on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” or “funnel”
marking.
The “!” means the le format is not supported and the “funnel” marking indicates the le is not read
smoothly. Delete these les and the others can then be played normally. It is recommended that you rst
format the memory card before using it and avoid placing les with different formats in the same folder.
6.Why is camera Flash not active when taking pictures?
Make sure that the focus range is NOT set at Macro mode, as ash is disabled in this mode. Scroll
through Camera modes and set Flash as Auto; note that Flash OFF is the default pre-set mode for normal
picture -taking. In Auto mode camera ash res ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).
7.Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?
Camera extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep camera (and photographed
subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been
taken.
8.How do I charge battery?
Computer will not charge battery when connected. You must use ONLY the supplied AC charger.
Camera must be turned OFF; blinking light conrms charging, but light is constant when charging has
been completed.

Warranty condition
The following conditions comprise the requirements and scope of our warranty conditions and do not affect our legal and
contractual warranty obligations.
We offer a warranty on our products in accordance with the following conditions:
1.Odys products are covered by a 24 month warranty. We will resolve damages or defects on Odys products free of charge
within 12 months of the purchase date under the following warranty conditions. For any damage or defect determined later than
12 months after the purchase date, proof of a manufacturing fault must be submitted for repair under warranty.
The warranty does not cover batteries and other parts, which are considered consumables, parts that break easily such as
glass or plastic or defects based on normal wear and tear. There is no warranty obligation in the event of marginal differences
compared to the target appearance and workmanship provided these have a negligible effect on the product’s tness for use, in
the event of damage caused by chemical or electrochemical effects, by water or generally from abnormal conditions.
2.The warranty will be performed in such a way that we shall decide whether to repair the defective parts or to replace them with
working parts free of charge. AXDIA reserves the right to exchange the product for a replacement product of equal value if the
product that is sent in cannot be repaired within a reasonable time or at reasonable cost. The product can also be exchanged
for a different model of the same value. Requests cannot be made for repairs to be carried out on site. Parts that have been
replaced or exchanged become our property.
3.The warranty claim does not apply if repairs or other work is carried out by unauthorized persons or if our products are
equipped with additional parts or accessories that are not approved for our products.
4.Warranties that have been activated do not cause the warranty period to be extended, nor do they trigger a new warranty
period. The warranty period for any replacement parts installed ends with the warranty period for the entire product.
5.Any other or further claims are excluded, especially those for replacement due to damage caused outside of the product,
provided there is no obligatory legal liability. We therefore accept no liability for accidental, indirect or other consequential
damage of any kind, which leads to usage restrictions, data loss, loss of earnings or interruption to business.
Asserting a warranty claim
1.To make use of the warranty service, you must contact the AXDIA Service Center by e-mail, fax or phone (see below for
contact details). You can also use the service form on our website or on the back of the warranty conditions.
2.AXDIA Service Center will try to diagnose and solve your problem. If it is determined that a warranty claim exists, you will be
given an RMA number (Return Material Authorization) and you will be asked to send the product to AXDIA.
IMPORTANT: AXDIA will only accept parcels that have an RMA number.
Please observe the following when sending the product:
1.Send the product suitably packaged with carriage and insurance paid. Do not enclose any accessories with the products (no
cables, CD’s, memory cards, manuals, etc.), unless the AXDIA Service Centre species otherwise.
2.Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package in such a way that it is visible and clearly legible.
3.You must enclose a copy of the sales slip as proof of purchase.
4.Once AXDIA has received the product, it will meet its warranty obligations in accordance with the warranty conditions and will
return the product to the sender with carriage and insurance paid.
Service outside of warranty
AXDIA can refuse any service claim made that is not covered by the warranty. If AXDIA agrees to provide a service outside the
warranty, the customer will be invoiced for all repair and transport costs.
AXDIA will not accept any packages that have not rst been approved by AXDIA by means of an RMA (Return Material
Authorization).
