Troubleshooting

Camera Cannot Be Turned On

• Insufficient battery power: Charge or replace the battery.
• Battery installed incorrectly: Ensure correct orientation.
• Insulating paper not removed: Remove the paper.

• Charging indicator off: Charger not plugged in properly. Check connection.
• Low ambient temperature (<10°C): May cause slow or failed charging.

Remote Control Not Working

• Insulating paper not removed: Pull out the paper. If still not working, re-insert the remote's battery.
• Note: Remote can only turn the camera off, not on.

Camera Crashes

Rapid button presses can cause freezing. Unplug the battery and reboot. Avoid rapid presses during recording/photos.

Memory Card Not Recognized
