Troubleshooting Guide

When the movie is played, camera operation noise can be heard.

If you operate the camera’s dials or lens during movie shooting, the operation noise will also be recorded. Use an external microphone (commercially available) (p.187).

Display & Operation Problems

If the LCD monitor is dirty, use a soft cloth to clean it.

Part of the image blinks in black.

The [4Highlight alert] menu option is set to [Enable] (p.192).

A red box is displayed on the image.
