Troubleshooting

Figure 7: Common troubleshooting scenarios and solutions.

Q: Why do camera pictures look blurry?

A: Blurry images can be caused by several factors:

1. Resolution Setting: When taking photos or recording, the default resolution might not be the highest. Select 44MP in the settings menu for photos to ensure maximum clarity. For videos, ensure you are recording in FHD 4K for best quality.
2. Autofocus: Always half-press the shutter button to allow the camera to focus before fully pressing to capture the image. If recording video, ensure the subject is in focus.
3. Viewing Quality: The image quality on the camera's small screen may appear lower. Transfer images to a computer or phone for a true representation of their quality.

Q: Why does the camera only work when plugged in, or why doesn't it work at all?

A: This issue typically stems from battery-related problems:

1. No Battery Installed: If no battery is installed, the camera will only operate when connected via USB for charging. Ensure a battery is correctly inserted for portable use.
2. Incorrect Battery Installation: The battery might be inserted incorrectly, preventing contact with the camera's terminals. Check that the battery is inserted with the correct polarity and that the metal contact points are aligned.
3. Depleted Battery: Due to long transportation or storage, the battery might be completely discharged. Use the included second battery to test if the issue persists, or fully charge the primary battery.
