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/Viewfinder turns off although the camera is turned on.
•
The LCD monitor turns off and the power lamp lights when [AUTO LCD OFF]
for the [ECONOMY] Mode.
[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (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/Viewfinder 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.
The LCD monitor/Viewfinder is too bright or dark.
