Q&A Troubleshooting
Recording (continued)
Recorded pictures are blurred.
●Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and a picture is prone to blurring.
→Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body.
→Set [Sensitivity] to [ 
] and [Digital Zoom] to [OFF]. (→57, 60)
Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.
●ISO Sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low.
(Default [Sensitivity] setting is [ 
] – interference may appear with indoor pictures.)
→Lower [Sensitivity] (→57).
→Take pictures in brighter locations.
●Camera set to [High Sens.] Scene mode.
(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)
Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.
●When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter button halfway.
●This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This will be recorded in panorama pictures or motion pictures but not in still pictures.
●We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as sunlight when taking pictures.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
●With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
●If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→17), the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it (→41).
Panorama picture recording stops before finishing.
●If the pan motion of the camera is too slow, the camera assumes that the operation has been aborted and stops recording.
●If the pan motion of the camera is too shaky when it is moved toward the recording direction, the camera stops recording.
→To record panorama pictures, pan the camera in a small
The beep volume is low.
●The speaker is blocked.
