Trouble shooting/Others (Advanced operations) Troubleshooting The shutter does not release. • You are using a memory card with a write-protect switch, and the switch is set to the LOCK position. Set the switch to the recording position. • Check the free capacity of the memory card. • You cannot record images while charging the built-in flash (pages 47, 135). • In autofocus mode, the shutter cannot be released when the subject is out of focus. • The lens is not attached properly. Attach the lens properly (page 30). • When the camera is attached to another device, such as an astronomical telescope, set [Release w/o Lens] to [Enable] (page 175). • The subject may require special focusing (page 118). Use the focus-lock or manual focus function (pages 119, 123). Recording takes a long time. • The noise reduction function is turned on (page 174). This is not a malfunction. • You are shooting in RAW mode (page 172). Since the RAW data file is large, the RAW mode shooting may take time. • The Auto HDR is processing an image (page 141). The same image is shot several times. • The drive mode is set to [Cont. Shooting] or [Bracket: Cont.]. Set it to [Single Shooting] (pages 51, 154). • The exposure mode is set to Continuous Advance Priority AE (pages 46, 101). • The exposure mode is set to AUTO+ and [Auto+ Image Extract.] is set to [Off] (page 96). The image is out of focus. • The subject is too close. Check the minimum focal distance of the lens. • You are shooting in manual focus mode. Set the focus mode dial to positions other than MF (page 116). • When the focus mode switch is equipped with the lens, set it to AF. • Ambient light is insufficient. Eye-Start AF does not work. • Set [Eye-Start AF] to [On] (page 86). • Press the shutter button halfway down. 205
