Troubleshooting

1. There is something in front of the camera lens. Is the camera broken? A: The camera is not broken. It’s an IR-cut filter. When the camera is powered on, the IR cut will cover the lens. Only when the camera is powered off will the IR cut be at a random place, sometimes covering the lens.

2. The display screen is suddenly black.
   A: The camera may be in “Hunting mode.” Press MENU to wake it up. If there is no response, the camera may be powered off. Please check if the batteries are still good and in place. Once battery power and placement is verified, press and hold down the OK/POWER button until the display turns on, indicating the camera powering up.

3. Why my phone can’t receive MMS?
   A: The MMS/GPRS function needs the SIM cards in both your camera and phone to have enough balance and to be opened to data exchange.
