Troubleshooting Guide Shooting No images can be shot or recorded. The memory card is not properly inserted. (p.32) If the memory card is full, replace the card or delete unnecessary images to make room. Or if a not-full memory card is inserted in the other card slot, switch the recording to that card. (p.32, 73, 128) If you try to focus in the One-Shot AF mode while the focus confirmation light in the viewfinder blinks, a picture cannot be taken.
Troubleshooting Guide Live View shooting is not possible. When using Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type CF card such as MicroDrive is not recommended). A hard disk-type CF card requires a lower temperature range for operation than with normal memory cards. If the temperature gets too high, the Live View shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage to the card’s hard disk. When the camera’s internal temperature decreases, the Live View shooting will be able to resume. (p.
