Cause/Solution
Disconnect HDMI cable or USB cable.
• When camera is in playback mode, press the c
button or shutter-release button.
• When menus are displayed, press the d
button.
• Battery is exhausted.
• When flash lamp blinks, flash is charging.
• Subject is too close. Try shooting using macro
mode, or the Scene auto selector or Close-up
scene modes.
• The intended subject is one with which
autofocus does not perform well.
• Set AF assist in the setup menu to Auto.
• Turn camera off and then on again.
Colored stripes may appear when shooting
subjects with repeating patterns (such as window
blinds); this is not a malfunction.
The colored stripes will not appear in captured
images or recorded movies.
However, when using Continuous H: 120 fps or
HS 120 fps (640×480), the colored stripes may
be seen in the captured images and recorded
movies.
• Use flash.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• Enable vibration reduction or motion detection.
• Use D (best shot selector).
• Use tripod and self-timer.
Flash is reflecting off particles in air. Set the flash
mode setting to W (off).
