7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera does not turn on. | Low battery. | Charge the camera fully using the provided USB cable. |
| Photos are not printing. | No paper, paper jammed, or film door not closed properly. | Check if paper is loaded correctly. Ensure the film door is securely closed. If jammed, gently remove the paper and re-insert. |
