The recorded picture looks rough.
Noise appears on the picture.
•
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity.
> Set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL].
> Take pictures in bright places.
• Has [HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in the scene mode been set? If so, the resolution of the recorded
picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a malfunction.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
•
If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the shutter speed
becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not a malfunction.
A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during picture-taking.
•
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and 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 motion pictures but is not recorded on still 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 in the middle.
•
Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.
> When you set the picture quality to [÷] or [û], we recommend using a high-speed card with
"10MB/s" or greater displayed on the package.
•
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
