out bad.

dark when shooting
images in a
seashore or ski
area.

focus during movie
recording.

suddenly stops.
I can't change the

Possible Cause and Recommended Action
1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save
operation was complete, which will result in the image not
being saved. If the battery indicator shows
battery as soon as possible (page 25).
2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera
before the save operation was complete, which will result in
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card
before the save operation is complete.
Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash
mode setting to < (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page
50), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 49).
Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 82) when shooting
at night.
• HS Night Scene (for shooting night scenery only)
• HS Night Scene and Portrait (for shooting people against
night scenery)
Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause
underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to
< (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 50), or adjust EV
shift to the + side (page 49).
1)The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital
zoom (page 109).
2)Zoom will not go up to the maximum value if the "Zoom (SR)"
setting is "Single". Change the setting to "Off" (page 56).
3)Zoom will not go up to the maximum value if the snapshot
size setting is something other than "VGA". Change to a
different setting (page 103).
1)Focusing may not be possible because the subject is outside
the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.
2)The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 223).
3)During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the
position where it was when recording started. To focus an
image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus
manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
The camera's protection function may have activated because
camera temperature is too high. Wait until the camera
temperature drops to normal levels.
Some menu items may not be available, depending on the
recording mode in use. While Premium Auto Pro is in use, only
the menu items whose settings can be configured will be
displayed on the menus.
