Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures (P308–324).
•
The battery is exhausted.
• Charge the battery.
• If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc. (P51)
• If you connect to a TV compatible with VIERA Link with a HDMI mini cable (optional) and turn
the TV off with the remote control for the TV, this unit is also turned off.
> If you are not using VIERA Link, set [VIERA Link] to [OFF]. (P53)
• Insert the battery securely all the way in. (P30)
• Is a Wi-Fi connection being used for a long period of time? The battery can become flat quickly
when connected to Wi-Fi.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc. (P51)
• Is the subject focused?
> [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [FOCUS] at the time of purchase, and so you cannot take
pictures until the subject is in focus. If you want to be able to take a picture when you press
the shutter button fully even if the subject is not focused, set [Focus/Release Priority] in the
[Custom] menu to [RELEASE]. (P156)
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] (P54) on the
[Setup] menu.
