Solution
• This is a normal occurrence in
devices containing CCDs and
does not constitute a malfunction.
(This red bar of light will not be
recorded when shooting still
photos, but it will be recorded
when shooting movies.)
• This is a phenomenon that
occurs with digital cameras and
does not constitute a
malfunction.
• Set the flash to on.
• Set the video system to the
appropriate setting, NTSC or
PAL, for your TV (p. 133).
• The output will not appear on a
TV in (Stitch Assist) mode.
Shoot in a different mode.
• Adjust the zoom before
shooting a movie.
• Use a CF card formatted in your
camera. See Formatting CF
Cards (p. 97).
