•The AF Assist Lamp does not turn on in bright places.

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.

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.

The clock is reset.

•If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset.

>[Please set the clock] message will be displayed; please reset the clock. (P20)

When pictures are taken using the zoom, they are slightly distorted and the areas around the subject contain colors which are not actually present.

•It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens, but this is not a malfunction.

Zooming stops instantaneously.

•When using the Extended Optical Zoom, the zooming action will stop temporarily. This is not a malfunction.
