Troubleshooting
In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static
electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it
back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the battery
out and put it back in again. Then, the mirror will retract when the camera
is turned on again. After these procedures are done, if the camera
operates correctly, it does not require any repairs.
We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service
center.
Problem Cause Remedy
The camera
does not turn
on
The battery is not
installed
Check if a battery is installed. If not, install a
fully charged battery.
The battery power
is low
Replace with a fully charged battery or use
the AC adapter kit (optional). (p.52)
The shutter
cannot be
released
The lens aperture
ring is set to other
than the s position
Set the lens aperture ring to the s position
or select [Permitted] in [27. Using Aperture
Ring] of the [A Custom Setting 4] menu.
(p.89, p.299)
The built-in flash is
charging
Wait until charging is finished.
There is no available
space on the SD
Memory Card
Insert an SD Memory Card with available
space or delete unwanted images. (p.54,
p.74)
Recording Wait until recording is finished.
Autofocus
does not work
The subject is
difficult to focus on
Autofocus cannot focus well on subjects
that have low contrast (the sky, white walls,
etc.), dark colors, intricate designs, rapidly-
moving objects or scenery shot through a
window or a net-like pattern. Lock focus on
another object located at the same distance
as your subject, then aim at the target and
press the shutter release button fully.
Alternatively, use manual focus. (p.116)
The subject is not
in the focusing
area
Position the subject in the focus frame in the
middle of the viewfinder. If the subject is outside
the focusing area, aim the camera at the subject
and lock the focus, then compose a picture and
press the shutter release button fully.
The subject is too
close
Move away from the subject and take a
picture.
