The subject is not focused properly.
•
The focus range varies depending on the Recording Mode.
> Set to the proper mode for the distance to the subject.
•
The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.
•
There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.
The recorded picture is blurred.
The Optical Image Stabilizer is not effective.
> The shutter speed becomes slower when pictures are taken in dark places
so hold the camera firmly with both hands to take the pictures.
> When taking pictures at a slow shutter speed, use the self-timer.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the
actual scene.
•
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the
shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are
a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a
malfunction.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
•
Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion
pictures.
•
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least "Class 4" or
if you use a card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the
data-writing speed is lower. In such cases, we recommend that you make a
backup of the data and then format the card in this unit.
LCD monitor
The LCD monitor becomes darker or brighter for a moment.
•
This phenomenon appears when you press the shutter button halfway to set the
aperture value and does not affect the recorded pictures.
•
This phenomenon also appears when the brightness changes when the camera
is zoomed or when the camera is moved. This is because of operation of the
automatic aperture of the camera, and it is not a malfunction.
Black, red, blue and green dots appear on the LCD monitor.
•
This is not a malfunction.
These pixels do not affect the recorded pictures.
