Others

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 when you take pictures you take care not to expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

•Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.

>When you set the recording quality to [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.

>In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P25).

•Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.

The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)

•If the subject has different colors at the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to the subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (P64)

LCD monitor

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] (P23) is selected for the [ECONOMY] mode.

[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; 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.

The LCD monitor is too bright or dark.

>Adjust the brightness of the screen. (P22)

•[POWER LCD] or [HIGH ANGLE] is activated. (P22)
