Troubleshooting
Camera won't turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery compartment cover is fully closed.
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate
Clean the lens contacts and camera mount contacts. Ensure you are using an appropriate AF mode for the subject. Check AF point selection.
Poor image quality or noise
Ensure ISO sensitivity is set appropriately for the lighting conditions. Clean the image sensor if dust is visible. Use RAW format for more post-processing flexibility.
Videos are choppy or stuttering
Ensure you are using a high-speed CFast 2.0™ card for 4K recording. Reduce the frame rate or resolution if the card cannot keep up.

Format the memory card in the camera. Try a different, compatible memory card. Ensure the card is inserted correctly.
