Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
Images are blurry
Verify that image stabilization is enabled. Ensure the correct focus mode is selected and that the lens is properly focused on the subject. Check for lens or sensor obstructions.
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate
Confirm the AF area mode is suitable for the scene. Clean the lens contacts and ensure there are no obstructions blocking the AF sensors. Reduce ISO sensitivity if the scene is very dark and consider manual focus.
Wi-Fi connection fails
Restart both the camera and the device you are trying to connect to. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the camera and that you are within range of the network or device. Re-pair the devices if necessary.
Card cannot be read or written to
Ensure the memory card is formatted in the camera. Try a different, compatible SD card. Check if the card is locked or if there is physical damage to the card or slot.
