Taking pictures using Auto Bracket is not possible.
•
Is the number of recordable pictures 2 or less?
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.
> Increase the setting for [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT. ADJ.] or lower the setting for each
of the items other than [NOISE REDUCTION].
> 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.
