Recording (Continued)

Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference. ISO Sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low.

(Default [Sensitivity] setting is [

] – interference may appear with indoor pictures.)

Lower [Sensitivity] (→47).

Set [Color Mode] to [NATURAL] (→51).

Take pictures in brighter locations.

Camera is set to [High Sens.].

(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity.)

Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.

Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault.

Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter button halfway.

This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.

We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as sunlight when taking pictures.

Motion picture recording stops midway.

With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.

When recording motion picture, use a card rated with an SD speed classof “Class 6” or higher.

SD speed class refers to a specification for sustained write speeds.

If recording stops even when using a card with speed of “Class 6” or faster, the data writing speed is low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. (→30)

The beep volume is low. The speaker is blocked.

LCD monitor

Monitor sometimes shuts off even though power is on.

After recording, monitor shuts off until next picture can be recorded. (Approx. 6 seconds (max.) when recording to the built-in memory)

Brightness is unstable.

Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway. (Does not affect recorded picture.)
