The right LED flashes

Troubleshooting
To fix these errors, you should charge the batteries. The yellow LED inside the device will light up and only turn off when the batteries are fully charged.
If you cannot charge the batteries, remove both batteries and connect the camera to a power bank. Make sure that the power is turned on and the color filter switch is in the first mode. Then press the shutter button to check. If the camera work well, please replace the batteries with new rechargeable or alkaline batteries.
Why use rechargeable batteries?
Rechargeable batteries can be recharged many times, this saves costs because there is no need to change batteries constantly. In addition, the use of rechargeable batteries helps to protect the environment by reducing the number of batteries discharged into the environment.
However, sometimes the batteries that you just bought from the store may already be in a "low battery" condition. This can happen due to time, sunlight, temperature, etc. Therefore, when you buy new rechargeable batteries, you should charge batteries to ensure it works well and get the sharpest pictures.
3. Memory card problem
In addition to errors caused by the batteries, your camera can also encounter errors coming from the memory card.

The left blue light flashes
Can not access the pictures
Can only take pictures when charging batteries
Troubleshooting
To fix such problems, you should make sure that the memory card is unlocked and inserted in the correct direction. You should also clean the memory card and the card slot to make sure that dirt does not interfere with their contact.
Unlock the memory card
If these are not your issues, remove the battery and use only the power bank, then take a picture with the first color filter. If only the left LED is flashing lights, reformat the memory card and try again.
It is recommended that you format the memory card to FAT32 (Windows) or exFAT (Macbook). If you do not know how to format a memory card, you can watch this video.
Before formatting the card, make sure the pictures on your card are safely stored in another location because formatting the memory card may cause data loss.
In addition, the memory card could be damaged if the environment is wet, too hot, or dusty. In that case, you just need to replace a new memory card (under 128GB for 18MP cameras and less than 64GB for 16MP cameras). Make sure you unlock and format the memory card before using it!
