If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted?

  Try to switch between Macro and Normal Mode.(Macro Mode: For object  

  in distance about 0.67 feet. Normal Mode: For object in distance beyond  

  6.7 feet)

The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD  

  shows the “!” marking.

  The” !” means the SD card is low speed or has wrong content inside. The  

  way to solve this condition is to format SD card by camera instead of  

  PC. (Please read the detail Format instruction in User’s Manual- Section 5).

Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark?

  Camera extends pictures exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. 

  Keep camera (and photographed subject) steady for several seconds 

  when taking pictures. Shutter will sound when picture has been taken.

How do I charge battery?

  You must use the supplied AC charger or USB cable. Camera must be  

  turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, but light is constant when  

  charging has been completed.
