Others
• 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.
• Color or brightness of the screen may change or horizontal streaks may appear on the screen
when the picture is taken under extremely bright light, or under fluorescent lamps, mercury
lamps, or sodium lamps etc.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera's pickup sensors. It appears
when the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
• It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight
or any other source of strong light.
• This could be an inactive pixel. Perform [PIXEL REFRESH] (P134)in the [CUSTOM] menu.
• Are you in Exposure Compensation operation?
Press the rear dial to switch to Exposure Compensation operation. (P75)
• Set the AF area to the distinctive color of the subject if there is a part that is different from the
surrounding color. (P82)
• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures in
[AVCHD].
Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures
in [MOTION JPEG].
• 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
on which recording and deleting have been repeated many times, or 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 (P62) the card in this unit.
• When recording a motion picture, the screen may go dark after a certain period to reduce
battery consumption, but this will not affect the recorded motion picture.
