Frequently asked questions

Why is the camera flash not active when taking pictures?

In flash auto mode the flash fires only when necessary, such as in low‑light conditions.

How do I charge the battery?

Use the supplied AC charger or USB cable; the camera must be off, and a blinking light indicates charging.

What should I do if the SD card shows a low‑speed error?

Format the SD card using the camera’s built‑in format function rather than a PC.
