Cannot connect to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth

Ensure Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is enabled on both the camera and the connected device. Check network settings and try restarting both devices. Ensure you are within range.

Memory card error

Ensure the memory card is compatible and correctly inserted. Format the memory card in the camera (this will erase all data). Try a different memory card.
