Q&A Troubleshooting

Recording (continued)

Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.

●●When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.

●●When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting etc., the colors and screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.

Horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.

●●This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. 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 pictures or motion 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 midway.

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

●●If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→23), the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it (→73).

Panorama picture recording stops before finishing.

●●If the pan motion of the camera is too slow, the camera assumes that the operation has been aborted and stops recording.

●●If the pan motion of the camera is too shaky when it is moved toward the recording direction, the camera stops recording.

To record panorama pictures, pan the camera in a small circular motion parallel to the recording direction at a speed of approx. 8 seconds per revolution (guideline).

Object seems to be warped.

●●Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

The subject seems to be shaking.

●●The subject may seem to be shaking when you record motion pictures using high zoom magnification because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction. We recommend using a tripod and self-timer when you record motion pictures using high zoom magnification.

Zoom does not operate properly.

●●Is the [Conversion] (→154) set to [  ] or [  ]?

Subject cannot be locked. (AF tracking not possible)

●●Set the AF area to the distinctive color of the subject if there is a part that is different from the surrounding color.
