areas around the subject contain colours which are not actually present.
•
At some magnification levels, the pictures taken are slightly distorted or the outlines and other
areas in the pictures taken are coloured, but this is not a malfunction.
Zoom does not go up to maximum magnification.
•
Is the camera set to Macro Zoom Mode?
Maximum zoom during Macro Zoom Mode is 3k digital zoom.
The file numbers are not recorded consecutively.

When you perform an operation after taking a certain action, the pictures may be recorded in
folders with different numbers from the ones used prior to the operation.

and file numbers for the pictures taken will not be stored in the memory. When the power is
then turned back on and pictures are taken, they may be stored under file numbers which
should have been assigned to previous pictures.
