5:White round spots like soap bubbles appear on the recorded picture.

•If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white round spots may appear on

the picture caused by the flash reflecting of particles of dust in the air. This is not a malfunction.

•A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots and their position differ in every picture.

•Is the camera connected to the TV correctly?

•Set the TV input to external input mode.

Depending on the TV model, the area display may be smaller so the picture may be stretched horizontally or vertically and the top and bottom or left and right of the picture may be cut off when it is displayed. This is due to the TV specifications and is not a malfunction.

3:The motion pictures cannot be played back on a TV.

•Are you trying to play back the motion pictures by directly inserting the card in the card slot of the TV?
