First, check if a battery is installed. If not, install a battery. If the battery is installed, check its orientation, ensuring it matches the + and - symbols in the battery compartment. If the battery is correctly installed, it may be exhausted and needs charging.
Why is the picture dark when using the flash on my Ricoh WG-30 Digital Camera?
If the subject is too far away in a dark environment, such as a night scene, the picture may appear dark. Ensure you are taking pictures within the specified flash range.
What to do if the shutter will not release on my Ricoh Digital Camera?
The shutter may not release if the flash is charging; wait until charging is finished. Also, ensure there is available space on the SD Memory Card or in the built-in memory. Finally, wait until any recording is finished.
Why is the subject not in focus on my Ricoh Digital Camera?
The subject might be difficult to focus on with autofocus. Try locking the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway, then aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully. Alternatively, the subject may not be in the focusing area. Locate the desired subject in the focus frame in the center of the display. If it is difficult, lock the focus on the desired subject by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway, and then move the camera to recompose.
How to fix the display if it is hard to see on my Ricoh WG-30?
If the display is hard to see, it may be because the brightness level is set too dark. Adjust the brightness level in [Brightness Level] in the [W Setting] menu. Also, if the Power Saving function is on, the display automatically darkens after a certain amount of time. Press a button to return to the normal brightness level. To turn off the Power Saving function, select [Off] in [Power Saving] in the [W Setting] menu.
Why does the flash not discharge on my Ricoh Digital Camera?
The flash may not discharge if the flash mode is set to (Flash Off). Set it to (Auto) or (Flash On). Also, the flash does not discharge if the drive mode is set to (Continuous Shooting), (Burst Shooting), or (Auto Bracketing); the focus mode is set to (Infinity); or the shooting mode is set to (Movie), (Underwater Movie), (Fireworks), (Digital Microscope), (Handheld Night Snap), (Interval Movie), or (High Speed Movie).
What to do if no image appears on the display of my Ricoh WG-30?
If no image appears on the display, it could be because the camera is connected to a computer or TV. The display is off when the camera is connected to either. Also, check if the display is set to off. If so, press the 4 button to turn the display on.
