5. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Possible causa/solució |
|---|---|
| La càmera no s'encén. | Assegureu-vos que la bateria estigui completament carregada i inserida correctament. |
| Les imatges són borroses. | Check if Intelligent Image Stabilization (Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO Control) is active. Ensure sufficient lighting. Avoid excessive camera shake. |
| Mala qualitat d'imatge amb poca llum. | Increase ISO sensitivity (if available in current mode) or use the built-in flash. Note that higher ISO settings may introduce noise. |
| Durada de la bateria curta. | Frequent use of flash, continuous shooting, or prolonged LCD display use can drain the battery faster. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Consider carrying a spare battery for extended use. |
| Difficulty capturing fast-moving subjects. | Use 'Sports' scene mode. While the camera has Intelligent ISO Control, it may not be ideal for very high-speed action photography in all lighting conditions. |
| Error de la targeta de memòria. | Assegureu-vos que la targeta de memòria estigui inserida correctament i que no estigui danyada. Intenteu formatar la targeta (això esborrarà totes les dades). |
