The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
•
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce
slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source
and do not indicate a malfunction.
•
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent or LED lighting,
mercury lamps, sodium lighting etc., the colors and the monitor brightness may change or horizontal
striping may appear on the monitor.
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the monitor during recording.
•
This is characteristic of MOS sensors like the one in this camera. 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 still and motion 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.
Motion picture recording stops by itself.
•
Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures.
•
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop by itself.
> 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 computer 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
in this camera.
Subject is rendered slightly distorted.
•
The subject is rendered slightly distorted when it moves across the image very fast, but this is
because the camera uses a MOS image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
The zoom cannot be controlled with the zoom/focus rocker.
•
Has [Side Lever] (P54)
> Set [Side Lever] to [ZOOM].
Subject cannot be locked.
(AF tracking not possible)
•
Point the AF frame at a distinctive color within the subject if there has a part that is different color
than the surrounding area.
Recording by [Panorama Shot] is ended before finishing.
•
If the camera is moved too slowly, it assumes that the camera motion was stopped and will end the
still picture recording.
•
If there is a great deal of shaking towards the recording direction while moving the camera, recording
will end.
> When recording with [Panorama Shot], move the camera by trying to trace a small circle parallel
to the recording direction at a speed of about 8 seconds per revolution (estimated).
