What to do if the shutter will not release on Ricoh Digital Camera?
If the shutter on your Ricoh Digital Camera isn't releasing, it could be due to several reasons: the flash is charging (wait until charging is finished), there's no available space on the SD Memory Card or in the built-in memory (insert an SD Memory Card with available space or delete unwanted images), or the camera is recording (wait until recording is finished).
Why is the picture dark when using the flash on my Ricoh WG-5 GPS Digital Camera?
If your pictures are coming out dark when using the flash on your Ricoh Digital Camera, it's likely because the subject is too far away in a dark environment. Ensure you are taking pictures within the specified flash range.
How to fix a Ricoh Digital Camera when the subject is not in focus?
If the subject in your Ricoh Digital Camera photos is not in focus, it could be because the subject is difficult to focus on with autofocus. Try locking the focus on an object at the same distance as your 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, you can set the focus manually. Another reason could be that the subject is not in the focusing area. Locate the desired subject in the focus frame in the center of the display; if difficult, lock the focus first, then recompose.
