5:The camera becomes warm.

The surface of the camera may become warm during use. This does not affect the performance or quality of the camera.

6:The lens clicks.

When the brightness changes due to zoom or camera movement etc., the lens may click and the picture on the screen may drastically change.

However, the picture is not affected. The sound is caused by the automatic adjustment of the aperture.

This is not a malfunction.

7:The clock is reset.

If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset. When the message [PLEASE SET THE CLOCK] appears, set the clock again. (P17)

When you take a picture before setting

the clock, [0:00 0. 0. 0] is recorded.

8:The displayed picture is slightly distorted.

Depending on the zoom magnification, the recorded picture is slightly distorted. This is called distortion aberration. The closer you get to the subject to take pictures of in wide angle, the more distorted the picture you take is. However this is not a malfunction.

9:Colors appear on the picture which were not found in the actual scene.

Depending on the zoom magnification, the picture may have some colored fringes around the subject. This is called chromatic aberration and may be more visible when recording distant subjects. However this is not a malfunction.

10:The file numbers are not recorded consecutively.

When you perform an operation after taking a certain action, the pictures may be recorded in folders with different numbers from the ones used prior to the operation. (P86)

11:The file numbers are recorded in ascending order.

If the battery is inserted or removed when the camera is not turned off, the recorded folder numbers are lost. However if you turn the camera on again and record pictures, the recorded folder numbers are different from the prior recorded folder numbers.

12:The picture is displayed in black.

Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may be displayed in black in playback mode (P33), multi playback (P68) and calendar playback (P69).
