Trouble Shooting

1. If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?
When taking photos and the object is within 80cm, use the Macro Mode which is a
Submenu of the Effect Mode.

2. The flash is not working.

The camcorder is in Macro Mode / The battery power is low.
3. The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows
the "!" marking.
The "!" means the SD card is low speed or has the wrong content inside. The way
to solve this condition is to format the SD card with the camcorder instead of the PC
(Please refer to the detail Format instruction section).

4. Why is Camera Flash not active when taking pictures?

Make sure that the focus range is NOT set at Macro mode, as flash is disabled in
this mode. Scroll through Picture mode and set Flash as Auto; note that Flash OFF
is the default pre-set mode for normal picture taking. In Auto mode camera flash
fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example).

5. Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?

Camcorder extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep
camcorder (and photographed subject) steady for several seconds when taking
pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been taken.
