Usage Tips
If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error message is displayed on the screen, and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the information below to fix the problem(s).
Troubleshooting
Battery
"The camera does not work even when batteries are installed".
- Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction. "Inserting the battery and card" (p. 11), "Charging the battery with the included USB-AC adapter" (p. 12)
- Battery performance may have been reduced temporarily due to low temperature. Take the batteries out of the camera, and warm them by putting them in your pocket for a while.
Card/Internal memory
"An error message is displayed".
"Error message" (p. 60)
Shutter button
"No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed".
- Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the camera on.
- Press the ▶ button to switch to the shooting mode.
- Wait until ↓ (flash charge) stops blinking before taking pictures.
- With prolonged camera use, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in automatic shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from the camera and wait until the camera has sufficiently cooled. The camera's external temperature may also increase during use, however this is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Monitor
"Difficult to see".
- Condensation may have occurred. Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry out before taking pictures.
"The light is caught in the picture".
- Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash reflections on dust in the air.
Date and time function
"Date and time settings return to the default setting".
- If the batteries are removed and left out of the camera for about 3 days ^*1 , the date and time settings return to the default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time settings return to the default setting varies depending on how long the batteries have been loaded.
"Language, date, time, and time zone" (p. 16)
Miscellaneous
"The camera makes a noise when taking pictures".
- The camera may activate the lens and make a noise even if no operation is performed. This is because the camera automatically performs actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.

Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing

"Focusing on the subject"
- Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 17)
- Set [AF Mode] (p. 37) to [Face/iESP]
• Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 37)
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it continuously.
- Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast

natural_image

natural_image
Simple line drawing of a window with horizontal slats and a decorative plant beside it (no text or symbols)^*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different distances

natural_image
Line drawing of a person sitting on grass reading a book, with mountains and water in the background (no text or symbols)"Taking pictures without camera shake"
• Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 38)
The image pickup device shifts to correct for camera shake even if the ISO sensitivity is not increased. This function is also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom magnification.
- Shooting movies using [IS Movie Mode] (p. 38)
- Select [ Sport] in the scene mode (p. 25)
The [ Sport] mode uses a fast shutter speed and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving subject.
• Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations where a flash cannot be used.
"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 32)
Exposure (brightness)

"Taking pictures with the right brightness"
- Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot against backlight.
[Shadow Adjust] (p. 36)
- Taking pictures using [Face/iESP] (p. 37)
Appropriate exposure is obtained for a face against backlight, and the face is brightened.
- Taking pictures using [☐] for [ESP/☐] (p. 37)
Brightness is matched with a subject in the center of the screen and the image is not affected by background light.
- Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 20) flash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
- Taking pictures of a white beach or snow scene Set the mode to [Beach & Snow] or [Snow]* (p. 25).
* TG-820 only
- Taking pictures using exposure compensation (p. 31)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white subjects (such as snow) results in images that are darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction to express whites as they appear. When taking pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
Color hue
WB
"Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as they appear"
- Taking pictures by selecting white balance (p. 31)
Best results in most environments can normally be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for some subjects, you should try experimenting with different settings. (This is especially true for sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and artificial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality

"Taking sharper pictures"
- Taking pictures with the optical zoom or super-resolution zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 37) to take pictures.
• Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity, noise (small colored spots and color unevenness that were not in the original image) can occur, and the image can appear grainy.
"Selecting the ISO sensitivity" (p. 32)
Panorama

"Taking pictures so that the frames are stitched smoothly"
- A tip for panoramic shooting
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the center prevents shifting of the image. When taking pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with the lens end at the center produces favorable results.
[Panorama] (p. 28)
Batteries

"Making batteries last longer"
- Set [Power Save] (p. 51) to [On]
Playback/Editing tips
Playback

"Playing images in the internal memory and card"
- Remove the card and display the images in internal memory
- "Inserting the battery and card" (p. 11)
"Viewing images with high picture quality on a high-definition TV"
- Connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately)
- "Playing back images on a TV" (p. 48)
Editing

"Erasing the sound recorded to a still image"
- Record over the sound with silence when playing back the image
"Adding sound to still images [ψ]" (p. 42)

- When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool location for storage.
- Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
Monitor
- Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor.
- A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
- When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
- In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. The monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on the monitor. These pixels do not have any influence on the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
