      Note
      The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of
      the	pixels	are	operational	for	effective	use.	However,	some	tiny	black	and/or	bright	dots	(white,	red,	
      blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufaturing
      process, and do not affect the recording.




                                                                                                            EN

Section 11
                                                                  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. (Macro Mode: For object in distance about 1cm to
  80cm, Normal Mode: For object in distance beyond 10cm)


2. The flash is not working.
  The battery power is low.


3. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking.
  The “!” means the SD card is low speed or having wrong content inside. The way to solve this
  condition is to format SD card by camera instead of PC (Please refer to the detailed Format
  instruction in Section 5).


4. Why is camera flash not active when taking pictures?

  In flash auto mode, camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).

5. 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.


6. How do I charge battery?
  You must use the supplied AC charger or USB cable.
  Camera must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging
  has been completed.




                                                                                                     EN

System requirements • Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista • Intel Pentium III 800MHz or above • 256 MB RAM • CD-ROM Drive • 700 MB free HDD space • Available USB port • 16-bit Color Display Note The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use.

  • 40. Section 11 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. (Macro Mode: For object in distance about 1cm to 80cm, Normal Mode: For object in distance beyond 10cm) 2. The flash is not working. The battery power is low. 3. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the “!” marking. The “!” means the SD card is low speed or having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by camera instead of PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5). 4. Why is camera flash not active when taking pictures? In flash auto mode, camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example). 5. 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. 6. How do I charge battery? You must use the supplied AC charger or USB cable. Camera must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when charging has been completed. EN 40
