Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera does not power on | Low battery, incorrect battery installation, power switch in wrong position. | Ensure the power switch is 'ON'. Check battery levels and polarity. Charge the internal battery via USB-C or ensure solar panel receives sunlight. Install fresh AA batteries if used. |

Ensure the camera is mounted securely. Adjust camera position relative to the subject. Verify settings for appropriate lighting conditions. |
