Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.
Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly
changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault.
Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire
screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter
button halfway.
This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter
areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This
will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.
We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as
sunlight when taking pictures.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
Wi h some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
When recording motion picture, use a card rated with an SD speed class of 'Class 6' or higher.
SD speed class refers to a specification for sustained write speeds.
If recording stops even when using a card with speed of 'Class 6' or faster, the data wri ing speed is
low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. ( 22)
