A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during picture-taking.
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 you take pictures while taking care not to expose
the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.
> When you set the picture quality to [÷], [ý], [ü], or [ÿ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with "10MB/s" or greater displayed on the package.
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
Dynamic tracking does not work even after touching the subject.
> Touch a subject-specific colour if the subject has a different colour from the periphery. (P49)
Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent colour is surrounding the
subject.
It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get coloured, depending on
the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the
image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used.
This is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor turns off although the camera is turned on.
The LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator lights when [AUTO LCD OFF] (P26) is
selected for the [ECONOMY] mode.
[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5E; optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low, it may take longer for the flash to be charged, and the time
during which the LCD monitor is turned off may become longer.
The LCD monitor becomes darker or brighter for a moment.
This phenomenon appears when you press the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value
and does not affect the recorded pictures.
This phenomenon also appears when the brightness changes when the camera is zoomed or
when the camera is moved. This is because of operation of the automatic aperture of the
camera, and it is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor flickers indoors.
The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning the camera on indoors under
fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction.
