Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly
changed brightness or colouring, 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.
●
With 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 writing speed is
low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. (→21)
