Problem
Digital zoom
(including Instant
Zoom) does not
work. The zoom bar
indicates zoom only
up to a zoom factor of
3.0.
There is a vertical
line on the monitor
screen
Images are out of
focus.
There is digital noise
in images.
The color of the
playback image is
different from what
appears on the
monitor screen when
shooting.
Images are not
displayed.
C
Possible Causes
1) The digital zoom setting is turned off.
2) Date stamping is turned on.
Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical
band to appear in the monitor screen image.
The subject is outside the range of the camera.
Sensitivity is increased automatically for dark subjects,
which increases the chance of digital noise.
Sunlight or light from another source is shining directly
into the lens when shooting.
A memory card with non-DCF images recorded with
another camera is loaded in the camera.
1) Turn on the digital zoom setting (page 74).
2) Turn off date stamping (page 128). Digital zoom is
disabled while date stamping is turned on.
Movies
This is a CCD phenomenon known as "vertical smear",
and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note
that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the
case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a
movie.
Shoot within the allowable range.
Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
Playback
Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly
into the lens.
This camera cannot display non-DCF images.
