Error message-- slow to take pictures

I also encountered this problem and found out that this was due to camera not being ready for the next image and click at this time will cause reading problem. Secondly, this might be due to low battery while taking picture.

If Try one or more of the following

Ready light does not turn on and the camera does not work.

• Turn on the camera (Turning on the camera).

• Install new batteries (Loading the battery) or charge rechargeable batteries.

• Turn camera off, then back on.

Ready light blinks green.

• Camera is operating normally.

Ready light blinks amber.

• Wait. Resume picture taking when the light stops blinking and turns green.

Ready light blinks red and camera turns off.

• Install new batteries (Loading the battery) or charge rechargeable batteries.

Ready light glows steady red.

• Transfer pictures to the computer (Transferring pictures with the USB cable), delete pictures from the camera (Deleting pictures/videos), switch image storage locations (), or insert a card with available memory (Using an optional SD/SDHC or MMC card).

• Wait. Resume picture taking when the light turns green.

• Change the image storage location to internal memory (), or use a different card.

Ready light is off or glows steady green.

• Camera is operating normally

Hi the Latina,

You might have set the camera to take pictures and save it to the HIGHEST resolution. That is the only reason why it takes a while to read the data. Try lowering the resolution and this should fix the problem. Otherwise, please let me know if this does not work so I can advice you further.

Meanwhile you can do a resize of the pictures by following the steps in page 65 of the manual here:

Thank you for using FixYa.

• If you are taking pictures in low light (dim light) and the flash is required, the flash will operate

automatically. A lightning bolt appears on the LCD screen and blinks until the flash is ready.

• While holding the camera steady, press the shutter button to take a picture.

Hint: The flash works best when your picture subject is about 4 ft. - 7.5 ft. (1.22 m - 2.23 m)

from the camera.

• When the batteries are getting weak, the flash will not fully charge and the no flash lightning

bolt appears on the LCD screen. It's time for an adult to change the "AA" (LR6) batteries,

Hope this works!!!

how many times does it blink?

Had the same problem, turn on camera wait until power up is complete and turn it off again. Give lens area a firm hit and turn camera on error should be fixed. try several times as it may not work first time. This worked for me hope it helps

First, Try and install the HP software again. Uninstall the software first and reboot the pc. Then reinstall software. The memory chip maybe have currupt pictures, so format the chip using the camera. You manual should tell you how to do this. Second, Turn the camera on and let the battery run all the way down. This may take some time, maybe a day. Then charge it back up for a day. I hope this helps you out. Let me know.

The shutter button features a two-stage action. Pressing Halfway Pressing halfway automatically sets the exposure, focus and white balance.
The indicators light or blink as follows.
Upper Indicator
" Green: Metering complete (two beeps sound)
" Orange: Flash will fire
" Blinking Orange: Camera shake warning / Insufficient exposure
Lower Indicator
" Yellow: Macro Mode / Manual Focus
" Blinking Yellow: Focusing difficulty* (single beep sounds)
* When the indicator blinks yellow, lock the focus before shooting.

After taking pictures in quick succession, the internal buffers of your camera fill up. Simply wait a few seconds for the processing to finish (the Ready light stops blinking).
