Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
Blurry images, especially at high zoom
Ensure Optical Image Stabilization is turned ON. Use a tripod or brace the camera against a stable surface. Use a faster shutter speed if lighting permits.
Memory card error
Ensure the memory card is properly inserted and is a compatible type (SD/SDHC). Format the card in the camera (this will erase all data on the card).
Poor image quality in low light
Use the appropriate scene modes (e.g., Night mode). Increase ISO sensitivity cautiously, as higher ISO can introduce noise. Use a tripod and a slower shutter speed.
LCD screen is not visible outdoors
Use the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) for better visibility. Adjust the brightness settings of the LCD screen if possible.
