I can't take a picture with the camera.

• The flash may be recharging. Wait until the status light turns green, and try again. Make sure you've installed a CompactFlash memory card, you may need to format or remove and reinstall it. Check to see if a message is displayed on the camera's LCD screen. The CompactFlash memory card may be full. Check the picture counter on the display panel. Erase some pictures (see Chapter 3), or transfer the pictures to your computer and then erase them (see Chapter 4). Or replace your CompactFlash memory card with a new one. When the camera is connected to your computer with the serial cable you can't use the camera's controls.
