Others
In dark places, the AF assist lamp
easier to focus on a subject.
Is [AF ASSIST LAMP] on the [REC MODE] mode menu set
to [ON]? ( P68 )
Are you taking pictures in dark places? The AF assist lamp
does not turn on in bright places.
The AF assist lamp does not turn on when [SELF
PORTRAIT], [SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY], [SUNSET],
[FIREWORKS] or [AERIAL PHOTO] in scene mode is
selected.
The camera may get a little warm while you are using it, but
this is normal.
When brightness has changed due to the zoom or the
movement of the camera or other, the lens may click and the
picture on the screen may be drastically changed, however,
the pictures are not affected.
The sound is caused by automatic adjustment of the
aperture. It is not a malfunction.
If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock setting
may be reset. When the message [PLEASE SET THE
CLOCK] appears, set the clock again.
When you take a picture before setting the clock, [0:00 0. 0.
0] is recorded.
Images may be taken with some distortion depending on the
zoom ratio. This distortion increases as you get nearer the
subject, but it is not a malfunction.
Depending on the zoom magnifi cation, the picture may
have some colored fringes around the subject. This is
called chromatic aberration and may be more visible when
recording distant subjects. However this is not a malfunction.
Certain operations cause pictures to be saved in folders with
different numbers. ( P90 )
If the batteries are inserted or removed when the camera is
not turned off, the recorded folder numbers are lost.
However if you turn the camera on again and record pictures,
the fi le numbers may be recorded in ascending order.
Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may be displayed
in black in playback mode, multi playback and calendar
playback.
The lens barrel retracts about 15 seconds after switching
from [REC MODE] mode to [PLAYBACK] mode.
