•
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity.
> Set [Color Mode] to [Natural].
> Take pictures in bright places.
•
Has [High Sens.] or [Hi-Speed Burst] in the Scene Mode been set? If so, the resolution of the
recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a
malfunction.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual
scene.
•
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording pictures or half-pressing the shutter button, reddish stripes may
appear on the LCD monitor. Alternatively, part or all of the LCD monitor may turn
a reddish color.
•
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and it appears when the subject has a
bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
•
It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures.
•
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> In the event that it stops even after using a "Class 6" card or higher or if you use a card that
has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data writing speed has deteriorated so
it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P40).
The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)
•
If the subject has different colors as the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to
the subject by aligning that area with the AF area.
