Appendix 3: Camera Error Messages If a problem occurs with a memory card, a message will be displayed in the control panel and the monitor. When a memory card error message is displayed, first remove the card and then insert it again. If the error message occurs again, refer to the table below to solve the problem. Viewfinder Control Panel Monitor CARD COVER OPEN CARD ERROR Explanation Solution Card cover is open. Insert the card and lock the card cover. You cannot store pictures, play back images, or delete images from the card. Remove the card, wipe clean the electrical contacts, insert the card, and then try again. If the message is displayed again, the card can no longer be used. You may be able to use the card again if you format it. However, formatting the card will erase all images stored on the card. NO CARD Card is not present. Insert the card in the camera. No display UNFORMATED Card is not formatted CARD or is damaged. Format the card. Formatting the card will erase all images stored on the card. On the arrow pad, press to select YES, and then press the button to format the card. WRITE PROTECT The card is protected with an adhesive seal, or a folder on the card has been designated "read-only." The card has been selected only for playback, so it cannot be used for taking pictures, images cannot be deleted, and it cannot be initialized. If the card is protected with an adhesive seal, remove the seal, or if the card has been selected for playback only, cancel the playbackonly selection. If this does not solve the problem, the card is operating abnormally. Try to transfer the images to a computer, or try to copy the images to another card installed in the camera. After copying the images, try to format the card again. NO PICTURE Playback cannot be executed because there are no pictures stored on the card. Make sure that a card that contains images is inserted, or take a picture. 199
