when handling the camera, batteries, or memory card.
If the camera does not function normally or the system error message appears, turn it off, remove
and reinsert the batteries, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter. If the camera has become hot
with extended use, wait for it to cool before removing or disconnecting the power supply. Always turn
the camera off using the main switch otherwise the memory card may be damaged and the camera
reset.
