The shutter speed becomes slower when pictures are taken in dark places so hold the
camera firmly with both hands to take the pictures. (P23)
When taking pictures at a slow shutter speed, use the Self-timer. (P52)
• Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [DIS0] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P73)
Set [Color Mode] to [NATURAL]. (P80)
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.
• 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.
• This is a characteristic of CCDs, and 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 recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
• It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
• Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 6" or higher when recording motion pictures.
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
In the event that it stops even after using a "Class 6" card or higher or if you use a card that
has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data writing speed has deteriorated so
it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P40).
• If the subject has different colors as the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to
the subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (P77)
