the power back on, press the POWER button.
Alternatively, you can turn the camera back on by

back of the camera, depending on the camera’s dial
switch position. See “Turning the camera back on” on
page 4-21 for more details.

The camera’s memory card may be full. Check the
picture counter on the display panel. If it reads 0 (zero),
your memory card is full. Erase some pictures using
the LCD monitor, or transfer the pictures to your
computer and then erase them.

images” on page 3-7. To transfer pictures to your
