Maintenance and Troubleshooting
◗ Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause
moisture to condense on the camera. Keep the camera in
a case or bag if you need to move it from a cold
environment to a warm one. Allow time for the camera
and its optional accessories to adjust to temperature
changes before using them.
◗ When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. This prevents camera damage from
battery leaks or corrosion.
Do not store the camera in the following locations:
◗ Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, for example,
on a car dashboard
◗ Near bright sources of light or high humidity
◗ Near heat sources or in a closed car or trunk
◗ In areas of excessive dirt or dust
◗ Where it will be exposed to strong vibrations or
magnetic fields
Solving Camera Problems
Before you call for help, check this list of problems and
possible solutions:
The camera has no power.
◗ Make sure the lens cover is open all the way.
◗ Make sure the storage card slot cover is closed.
◗ The camera may have shut off automatically. Close and
open the lens cover to turn the power back on.
◗ Check the batteries and make sure they are installed
correctly. If the batteries no longer have a charge,
recharge or replace them.
◗ If you are using the AC adapter, make sure it is plugged
into the camera and into a working outlet.
You can’t take a picture with the camera.
◗ The camera may be full. Check the picture counter on
the display panel. Erase some pictures (see page 2-10), or
transfer the pictures to your computer and then erase
them (see Chapter 3). Or, install a SmartMedia card to
store more pictures (see Chapter 8).
