The recorded picture looks rough.

Noise appears on the picture.

Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?

(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. noise will appear.)

>Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P75)

>Increase the setting for [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] or lower the setting for each of the items other than [NOISE REDUCTION]. (P81)

>Take pictures in bright places.

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 fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not a malfunction.

A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during picture-taking.

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.

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.

>When you set the recording quality to [ ], [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.

>In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P27).

Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.

Dynamic tracking does not work even after touching the subject.

>Touch a subject-specific color if the subject has a different color from the periphery. (P48)

Lens

Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent color is surrounding the subject.

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. Also, the peripherals of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used. This is not a malfunction.
