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 42, 128). • 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 24). • When the camera is attached to another device, such as an astronomical telescope, set [Release w/o Lens] to [Enable] (page 162). • The subject may require special focusing (page 110). Use the focus-lock or manual focus function (pages 111, 116). Recording takes a long time. • The noise reduction function is turned on (page 161). This is not a malfunction. • You are shooting in RAW mode (page 159). Since the RAW data file is large, the RAW mode shooting may take time. • The Auto HDR is processing an image (page 131). The same image is shot several times. • The drive mode is set to [Cont. Shooting] or [Bracket: Cont.]. Set it to [Single Shooting] (pages 46, 144). • The exposure mode is set to Continuous Advance Priority AE Mode (pages 41, 93). • The exposure mode is set to Superior Auto and [S. Auto Image Extract.] is set to [Off] (page 88). 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 switch to AF (autofocus) (page 109). • 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 80). • Press the shutter button halfway down. 192
