If the camera won't turn on, ensure that the battery is charged and inserted correctly. Check for any debris in the battery compartment and try a different battery if available.

Blurry photos can be caused by camera shake or incorrect focus. Use a tripod for stability and ensure the focus is set correctly for your subject.
To extend battery life, reduce the use of the LCD screen, turn off the camera when not in use, and disable wireless functions if not needed.
Ensure the memory card is properly inserted and compatible with the camera. Try formatting the card in the camera or using a different card.
