  If your camera isn't turning on, first, ensure that the batteries are not exhausted and are inserted correctly. Latch the battery-chamber cover securely. If using an AC power adapter and DC coupler, verify they are properly connected. If the camera has been without power for a while, wait a few moments after inserting batteries or connecting the adapter before attempting to turn it on.

Also, ensure the batteries are not exhausted, and turn the camera on if it has turned off automatically.

  Several factors can cause batteries to drain quickly. Cold batteries should be warmed before use. Dirty battery terminals should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure MONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE is set to OFF. Avoid using M mode, select another shooting mode instead. If using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, discharge and recharge them, replacing them if they no longer hold a charge. Also, avoid using u CONTINUOUS for F AF MODE; select a different focusing option.
