Is the card inserted?
Is there a picture in the card?
Is the mode dial set to playback [Q]?
One of the features of this unit can automatically detect when
you have turned the camera side on to take a picture, then
rotate that picture for you when you play it back.
In some cases, the unit may detect that you have turned the
camera side on, when in fact you are facing it up or down.
• Set [ROTATE DISP.] (P93) to [OFF] so that the camera does
not rotate these kinds of pictures for you.
• You can use [ROTATE] (P94) to rotate the pictures when
necessary.
Check that ISO sensitivity isn't too high or that shutter speed
isn't too slow.
• Reduce ISO sensitivity. (P73)
• In [PICT.ADJ.], set [NOISE REDUCTION] to [HIGH]. (P79)
• Improve the ambient light.
The picture may have been changed on a computer or taken
on a different manufacturer's camera.
This problem can also occur if you remove the battery
immediately after taking a picture or if the battery had very
little charge left.
• You will need to reformat the card to delete this type of
picture. (P103) (Remember that all data will be irretrievably
erased when you format the card, so save your data and
check the card before proceeding.)
