5:Motion image recording stops in the middle.

Are you using a MultiMediaCard?

This unit does not support MultiMediaCard.

When you set the picture quality to [30fpsVGA] or depending on the type of card, recording may stop while you are recording motion images (P50). We recommend using a high-speed SD memory card indicated with “20 MB/s” or above on its package.

If you use a card in which pictures have been recorded and deleted repeatedly, recording may stop in the middle while you are recording motion images. We recommend you to clean up the card in advance. (P81)

LCD monitor

1:The LCD monitor is turned off sometimes although the camera is turned on.

Have you set to the economy mode? (P19)

In the economy mode, the LCD monitor is turned off while the flash is charged.

2:The brightness of the screen becomes dark or bright for a moment.

This phenomenon appears when pressing the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value and does not affect the recorded pictures.

3:The screen is too bright or dark.

Adjust the brightness of the screen. (P19)

Is the power LCD function activated? (P24)

4:Some pixels are inactive or always lit on the LCD monitor.

These pixels do not affect the recorded pictures.

This is not a malfunction.

5:Noise appears on the LCD monitor.

In dark places, noise may appear to maintain the brightness of the LCD monitor.

This does not affect the pictures you are recording.

6:A vertical red line appears on the LCD monitor.

This is called smear. It is specific to CCD, not a malfunction. It appears when the subject has a bright part. It is recorded on motion images, but not recorded on still pictures.

Flash

1:Flash is not activated.

Is the flash setting set to Forced OFF

[ ]?

– Change the flash setting. (P36)

The flash is not activated when in

motion image mode [ ], [SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY], or [FIREWORKS]

in scene mode (P53) is selected.

2:The flash is activated 2 times.

When you select AUTO/Red-eye

reduction [ ], the first flash is activated for red-eye prevention on the

subject (red-eye phenomenon) before actually recording pictures. After the first flash, the flash is activated again for recording.
