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. (P23)
∫Battery and the power source
1:The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on.
•Is the battery inserted correctly?
•Is the battery sufficiently charged?
–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.
2:The camera is turned off immediately even after it is turned on.
•Is the battery charge insufficient to operate the camera?
–Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.
∫Recording
1:The picture cannot be recorded.
•Is the card inserted?
•Is the mode dial correctly 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? (P33)
•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. (P32)
∫LCD monitor
1: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.
2:The picture is not displayed on the LCD monitor.
•Does the picture appear on the Viewfinder?
–Press 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 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.
