2:The flash is activated 2 times.

When you select red-eye reduction (P38), the flash is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then activated again for the actual recording.

Playback

1:The picture being played back is rotated and displayed in an unexpected direction.

The camera has a function that automatically rotates the display of pictures recorded holding the camera vertically. (If you take pictures when aiming the camera up or down, the camera may recognize that it is being held vertically.)

You can display the pictures without being rotated when [ROTATE DISP.] (P67) is set to [OFF].

You can rotate pictures with the [ROTATE] function. (P67)

2:The picture is not played back.

Is the mode dial set to playback [ ]?

Is there a picture on the built-in memory or the card?

The pictures on the built-in memory appears when a card is not inserted. The picture data on the card appears when a card is inserted. (P16)

3:The folder number and the file number are displayed as [—] and the screen turns black.

Is the picture edited with a PC or recorded with a digital camera from another manufacturer?

This may also happen if batteries are removed immediately after recording or if recording with exhausted batteries.

Format the data to delete the pictures mentioned above. (P74) (Formatting irretrievably deletes all data including

the other pictures. Check the data carefully before formatting.)

TV, PC and printer

1:The picture does not appear on the television.

Is the camera connected to the TV correctly?

Set the TV input to external input mode.

2:The display areas on the TV screen and the camera’s LCD monitor are different.

Depending on the TV model, the area display may be smaller so the picture may be stretched horizontally or vertically and the top and bottom or left and right of the picture may be cut off when it is displayed. This is due to the TV specifications and is not a malfunction.

3:The motion pictures cannot be played back on a TV.

Are you trying to play back the motion pictures by directly inserting the card in the card slot of the TV?

Connect the camera to the TV with the video cable (supplied) and then play back the pictures on the camera.

4:The picture cannot be transferred when the camera is connected to a PC.

Is the camera connected to the PC correctly?

Is the camera recognized by the PC correctly?

Set [USB MODE] to [PC]. (P22, 75)

5:The card is not recognized by the PC. (The built-in memory is recognized.)

Disconnect the USB connection cable. Connect it again while the card is inserted in the camera.
