Hi James:

The conditions you have mentioned are not normal.  I wonder if you just have
a low camera battery.  

You should be able to turn on the view finder and still press the up arrow
to get a field of view report.  The camera remains on, and the field of view
report is provided.  

The one thing you have to know is that the image, which appears on the
screen when the view finder is on, disappears as soon as you ask for the
field of view report.  

Regarding the "problem detected messages, the most likely causes are, (1) a
low camera battery, or (2) your camera is not tight up against the backplain
that separates the camera from the PDA.  I recommend unfastening the velcro
flap which gives you access to the battery door and pulling it tight to
fasten it again.  You don't want to have any play for the camera to move
around.  

Thanks, J. G.

Hi folks,

Just a curiocity really. I've noticed that when you use the view finder to
assist sighted people in seeing what your aiming at, then obtain a view
report for blind users, the unit chimes and says "camera is off!". I then
have to turn on the camera again. Is this normal? Also, because of this, the
lense door isn't closed until the camera is turned back on again.

Another problem I am also having is that sometimes, when turning off the
camera, I get "problem detected, reseting camera, camera is off!". Is this
normal also? I assume it's a warning that the battery in the camera is
dying?



Thanks for all your help.
