• Has [High Sens.] or [Hi-Speed Burst] in the Scene Mode been set? If so, the resolution
of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but
this is not a malfunction.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual
scene.
• If recording under uorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when
the shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of uorescent
light. It is not a malfunction.

vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor or a part or the whole of the
screen has a tinge of red.
• 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.
