The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.

•If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not a malfunction.

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.

>When you set the picture quality to [÷] or [û], 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.
