Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(When set to [AUTO], ISO sensitivity increases for indoor and
other shooting occasions. When set to [
increase depending on movements and brightness of the subject.)
• Reduce ISO sensitivity. (P83)
• Set [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to [HIGH] or set
every item except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW]. (P90)
• Improve the ambient light.
In [HIGH SENS.] (P67) in scene mode, the resolution of the recorded
picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing.
This is not a malfunction.
This camera is not compatible with motion picture recording
on MultiMediaCards.
• When you set the [PICT.MODE] to [30fpsVGA], [30fps16:9L]
or [15fps16:9H], we recommend using cards that offer 10
MB/second or higher speeds (shown on their packages and
elsewhere) for best results.
• Depending on the type of SD Memory Card, recording may
stop in the middle.
• Is the AF mode 3-area-focusing (high speed) or 1-area-
focusing (high speed)? (P87)
Have you set economy mode? (P22)
–In economy mode, the LCD monitor turns off while the
flash is charged.
After recording, the LCD monitor is turned off until the camera is ready
for the next picture to be taken. The LCD monitor is turned off for a
maximum of 6 seconds particularly when using the built-in memory.
This phenomenon appears when pressing the shutter button
halfway to set the aperture value and does not affect the
recorded pictures.
The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning
the camera on indoors under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
Adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor. (P21)
Is the Power LCD function or high angle mode activated? (P40)
