Problem
A recorded image
was not saved.
Though available
lighting is bright,
the faces of people
in the image are
dark.
Night shots come
out bad.
Subjects are too
dark when shooting
images in a
seashore or ski
area.
Digital zoom will
not go up to the
maximum value.
The image is out of
focus during movie
recording.
Movie recording
suddenly stops.
The monitor screen
goes blank and
camera operation
becomes disabled.
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 26).
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
52), or adjust Exposure to the + side (page 51).
Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 86) 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 52), or adjust
Exposure to the + side (page 51).
1)The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital
zoom (page 115).
2)Zoom will not go up to the maximum value if the "Zoom (SR)"
setting is "Single". Change the setting to "Off" (page 58).
3)Zoom will not go up to the maximum value if the snapshot
size setting is something other than "3M". Change to a
different setting (page 111).
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 190).
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.
Selecting S or M for the recording mode and using a slow
shutter speed will cause the monitor screen to go blank during
the period from when the shutter button is pressed until image
recording is complete. Camera operations are disabled during
this time. Wait until the back lamp goes out and an image
appears on the monitor screen again.
