When things don’t go right... Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action Power Supply Power does not turn on. 1)The battery may not be loaded correctly (page 21). 2)The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 22). If the battery goes dead soon after being charged, it means the battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced. Purchase a separately available CASIO NP-130A rechargeable lithium ion battery. The camera suddenly powers down.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action The subject is out of focus in the recorded image. The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame. The flash does not fire. 1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 52). 2)If the battery is low, charge it (page 22).
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action A recorded image was not saved. 1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. If the battery indicator shows , charge the battery as soon as possible (page 26). 2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete, which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save operation is complete.
Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action I can’t change the settings of menu items. Menu items for some settings are not displayed on the menu. Some menu items may not be available, depending on the recording mode in use. While Premium Auto Pro is in use, only the menu items whose settings can be configured will be displayed on the menus. Playback The color of the playback image is different from what appears on the monitor screen when shooting.
