Troubleshooting Guide

Movies cannot be shot with manual exposure.

Set [LV z/kset.] to [Movies] and set the shooting mode to <a> (manual exposure) (p.142, 144).

The movie shooting terminates by itself.

If the card’s writing speed is slow, movie shooting may stop automatically. If you use a CF card, use one with a read/write speed of at least 8 MB per sec. If you use an SD card, use one with SD Speed

Class 6 “ ” or higher. To find out the card’s read/write speed, see the card manufacturer’s Web site, etc.

If the movie file size reaches 4 GB or if the movie recording time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., movie shooting will stop automatically.

The subject looks distorted during movie shooting.

During movie shooting, if you move the camera left or right quickly (high-speed panning) or shoot a moving subject, the image might look distorted. There might be less distortion if you shoot in the 1280x720 or 640x480 movie recording size (p.151).

When I shoot still photos during movie shooting, the movie shooting stops.

To shoot still photos during movie shooting, using a CF card compatible with UDMA transfer rates is recommended. Setting a smaller image size for still photos and shooting fewer continuous still photos can also resolve the problem.

The movie cannot play.

Movies edited with a personal computer using the provided software, etc., cannot be played with the camera.
