Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The camera may be connected to your computer. When
it is connected, you cannot use any of the buttons on
the camera itself. See the
EPSON Digital Camera
Software User’s Guide
for instructions on taking
pictures using your computer.
The camera takes too long to take a picture.
You may be pressing the shutter button all the way
down at once. This forces the camera to focus, make
exposure adjustments, and capture the image all at the
same time. To make the process more efficient, you can
have the camera perform these operations separately.
First, depress the shutter button halfway to lock the
auto focus, then press the shutter button the rest of the
way down to take the photo. For more information, see
“Taking Pictures Using the Viewfinder” on page 2-6,
or “Taking Pictures Using the LCD monitor” on page
2-9.
If you want to take pictures quickly in succession, use
the continuos shooting feature. This feature allows you
to take up to ten pictures in succession before the
camera saves them to the memory card. See “Using the
continuous shooting feature” on page 2-14.
The flash does not work.
Make sure that your flash is not set to . Also, when
using the automatic flash setting, the flash only fires
when there is insufficient light. See “Setting the flash”
on page 4-4 for details on setting the flash.
Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly. See
“Installing the batteries” on page 1-7. Also, make sure
that you are using appropriate batteries and that they
are charged. See “Replacing the batteries” on page 1-8
and “Charging the batteries” on page 1-6.
Note:
When you use the continuous shooting feature or take
video clips, the flash is disabled.
The lens is still protruding even though the camera is
turned off
The camera may have shut off automatically. If the lens
is protruding when the shut-off feature turns off the
camera, the lens does not retract. To retract the lens,
press the POWER button once to turn the camera back
on, then again to turn the camera off.
The batteries may be low. Use the optional AC adapter,
or replace the batteries with new or recharged batteries,
then turn the camera on and off again. The lens retracts.
