•
There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.

When taking pictures at a slow shutter speed, use the self-timer.
Taking pictures using Auto Bracket is not possible.
•
Is there any memory remaining on the built-in memory or the card?
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.
Set [Color Mode] to [NATURAL].
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.
