Others

A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during picture-taking.

•This is a characteristic of CCDs, and 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 motion pictures but is not recorded on still 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 in the middle.

•It is recommended to use a card with SD Speed Class¢ with “Class 6” or higher when recording

motion pictures.

¢SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.

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

>When you set the picture quality to [], [ ] or [], we recommend using a high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.

>In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed

has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P32).

•Are you using a MultiMediaCard? This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.

The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)

•If the subject has different colors as the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to the subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (P86)

Lens

Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent color is surrounding the subject.

•It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used. This is not a malfunction.

LCD monitor

The LCD monitor turns off although the camera is turned on.

•The LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator lights when [AUTO LCD OFF] (P29) is selected for the [ECONOMY] mode.

[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional).]

If the remaining battery power is low, it may take longer for the flash to be charged, and the time during which the LCD monitor is turned off may become longer.

The LCD monitor becomes darker or brighter for a moment.

•This phenomenon appears when you press the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value and does not affect the recorded pictures.

•This phenomenon also appears when the brightness changes when the camera is zoomed or when the camera is moved. This is because of operation of the automatic aperture of the camera, and it is not a malfunction.
