Why doesn’t the flash fire?
Ensure that the flash is set to Auto Flash or Fill-in Flash. If the batteries are weak, the
flash will not be able to recharge and as a result, it is not able to fire. Please turn off the
camera and wait a few seconds before turning it on again. If the flash still does not fire,
please replace the batteries.

How can I get better battery performance for my digital camera?
This camera comes with alkaline batteries. These batteries are universal, convenient,
and inexpensive. These alkaline batteries do not require a special battery charger and
they can be purchased anywhere. However, they are not the most efficient when it
comes to power.
• When power is in short supply, it is best to avoid the camera functions that
consume the most power.
1. Avoid using the LCD monitor when you want to extend the battery life.
2. Using the LCD monitor consumes the most battery power.
3. Use only the viewfinder for taking pictures.
4. Turning the zoom on and off forces the zoom lens to extend and retract with each
power cycle. Avoid using the zoom when possible.
5. Avoid using the flash.
6. Use an external card reader whenever possible.
7. Take advantage of external power sources whenever you can.
• Use rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. Have two sets of
batteries, one set in the camera and one charging or in reserve for when you need to
swap them out.
• Store charged spare batteries in the coolest place you can find (at or above freezing)
but be sure to bring cold batteries back up to room temperature before using them.
• Store and use your camera and batteries as close to room temperature as you can.
Note: Rechargeable batteries often get up to two times as many shots on a fresh
charge.
