≥ Colour or brightness of the image may change, or you may
see horizontal bars in the image when the object is
recorded under fluorescent light, mercury light or sodium
light, etc., but this is not a malfunction. Record in auto mode
or set the shutter speed to 1/100 in areas where the power
supply frequency is 50 Hz, or 1/125 in areas of 60 Hz.
≥ Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves
across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is
using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
≥ If you take a picture with the
flash in a dark place or indoors,
white round spots may appear
on the picture caused by the
flash reflecting of particles of
dust in the air. This is not a
malfunction.
A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots
and their position differ in every picture.
≥ The unit has automatically detected an error. Restart the
unit by turning off and on the power.
≥ The power will be turned off in about 1 minute if the power
is not turned off and on.
≥ Repair is needed if it is repeatedly displayed even if it is
restarted. Detach the power connected, and consult the
dealer who you purchased this unit from. Do not attempt to
repair the unit by yourself.
