→ Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body.

Only enough memory for 2 pictures or fewer.
Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.

Camera set to [High Sens.] Scene mode.
(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)
Brightness or colouring of recorded picture different from real life.
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED
lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting etc., the colours and screen brightness may change
or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire
screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter
button halfway.
This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter
areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This
will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.
We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as
sunlight when taking pictures.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→21), the data writing
speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and
formatting it (→49).
The beep volume is low.
The speaker is blocked.
The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails.)
If the colour of the subject is similar to that of its background, AF Tracking may not function. Set the
AF lock to the colours specific to the subject.
