Troubleshooting
If you put the menu back to the settings at
the time of purchase, the conditions may be
improved.
Carry out the [RESET] in the [SETUP]
menu. (P22)
∫Battery and the power source
1:The camera cannot be operated even
when it is turned on.
•Is the batter y inserted correctly?
•Is the batter y sufficiently charged?
–Use a batter y that has been
sufficiently charged.
2:The camera is t urned off immediately
even after it is turned on.
•Is the batter y charge insufficient to
operate the camera?
–Use a batter y that has been
sufficiently charged.
∫Recording
1:The picture cannot be recorded.
•Is the card inserted?
•Is the mode dial correc tly set?
•Is there any memory capacity left on
the card?
–Before recording, delete some
pictures.
2:The subject is not focused properly.
•The focus range varies depending on
the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set to the
proper mode for the distance to the
subject.
•Is the subject out of the focus range?
(P32)
•When you cannot focus on the subject
even if you tried many times, turn the
camera off once and turn it on again.
3:The recorded picture is blurred.
•When taking a picture in shaded areas
or indoors, the shutter speed becomes
slow and the optical image stabilizer
function may not work properly. In this
case, we recommend holding the
camera with both hands firmly to take
pictures. When you take pictures with
slow shutter speed, we recommend
using a tripod. (P31)
∫LCD monitor
1:The brightness of th e 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.
2:The picture is not displayed on the
LCD monitor.
•Does the picture appear on the
Viewfinder?
–Pre ss the [EVF/LCD] button to switch
to LCD monitor display.
3:The screen is too bright or dark.
•Adjust the brightness of the screen.
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 L CD 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.
