Power goes off as soon • The battery may have run out. (Page 20 of Vol. 1) as it is turned on. • If the remaining battery charge display is blinking or appears, the battery has run out. • Either recharge the battery or replace the discharged battery with a fully charged one. Battery The battery runs down • Make sure the battery is fully charged. (Page 20 of Vol. 1) quickly. Keep charging until the AC adaptor’s CHARGE lamp goes out. • Are you using the battery in a cold place? The battery is affected by the ambient temperature. Its operating time is reduced in low-temperatures. • The battery may have reached the end of its service life. The battery will become unchargeable. The battery has a certain service life which varies depending on how the battery is used. If the battery operates only for a short period even when it is charged adequately, it has reached the end of its service life. - Page 46 Before calling for service (continued) Shooting Cannot shoot even • Make sure the P2 card’s write-protect switch is not in the (Page 12) though the P2 card is PROTECT position. inserted correctly.
