Q: My images appear blurry. What can I do to fix this?

A: Make sure the camera is steady when taking a picture, try using a tripod or setting the camera on a level steady surface. You can also try setting the camera to macro mode.

Q: What kind of batteries does the camera use?

A: 4 AA rechargeable NiMH batteries, 4 AA rechargeable NiCad batteries, 4 single-use AA alkaline batteries, or 4 single-use AA lithium batteries. To avoid the danger of fire or explosion, do not mix different types of batteries.

Q: What else can I do with the CompactFlash cards besides store more images?

A: You can copy images to a CompactFlash card from the camera's internal memory or copy images from the CompactFlash card to the camera's memory. Also, if you have a PCMCIA adapter and a computer with a Type II PCMCIA slot, you can access images stored on a CompactFlash card directly from your computer.

Q: Nothing appears on the LCD screen. What can I do?

A: Make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Recharge or replace the batteries if necessary. If the screen switch is set to "View", make sure the serial cable is disconnected from the camera's port. When the cable is plugged in, the camera assumes you're connecting to the computer so it turns the LCD off.
