4. 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: MMS/GPRS function needs the SIM cards in both your camera
and phone to have enough balance and to be opened to data
exchange.
