Others
• 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 you take pictures while taking care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures in
[AVCHD].
Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures
in [Motion JPEG].
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least "Class 4" or if you use a
card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower.
In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P45)
the card in this unit.
• 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. (P48)
• It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on
the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the
image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used.
This is not a malfunction.
