speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].

(P. 130), [Image Aspect] (P. 87), and group target (P. 65) settings.
The date and time has not been set
The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase

using the camera. g "Initial setup" (P. 27)
The battery has been removed from the camera
• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is
left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be canceled more quickly
if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.
Set functions are restored to their factory default settings

another setting or the camera is turned off. In addition, selecting C mode restores custom
mode settings.
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light
source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.
g "Interchangeable lenses" (P. 212)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g "Pixel Mapping - Checking the
image processing functions" (P. 223)
