● Photographs and videos do not appear to have the same exposure as the preview shown in
the display:
The effects of changes to settings that affect exposure and color are not visible in the display
when [Adjust for ease of viewing] is selected for Custom Setting d8 [View mode (photo Lv)].
Note that even when [Show effects of settings] is selected for Custom Setting d8, display
brightness will be adjusted for ease of viewing (per [Adjust for ease of viewing]) in mode M
when a flash unit is attached.
Note that changes to [Monitor brightness] and [Viewfinder brightness] have no effect on
pictures recorded with the camera.
● Flicker or banding appears in video mode:
Select [Video flicker reduction] in the video recording menu and choose an option that matches
the frequency of the local AC power supply.
● Bright regions or bands appear:
Bright regions or bands may occur if the subject is lit by a flashing sign, flash, or other light source
with brief duration.
● Smudges appear in photographs:
Are there smudges on the front or rear (mount-side) lens elements?
Is there foreign matter on the image sensor? Perform image sensor cleaning.
● Pictures are affected by noticeable ghosting or flare:
You may notice ghosting or flare in shots that include the sun or other bright light sources. These
effects can be mitigated by attaching a lens hood or by composing shots with bright light sources
well out of the frame. You can also try such techniques as removing lens filters or choosing a
different shutter speed.
● Bokeh is irregular:
With fast shutter speeds and/or fast lenses, you may notice irregularities in how bokeh is shaped.
The effect can be mitigated by choosing slower shutter speeds and/or higher f-numbers.
