Taking pictures using Auto Bracket is not possible.

•Is there any memory remaining on the built-in memory or the card?

The recorded picture looks rough.

Noise appears on the picture.

•Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?

(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. noise will appear.)

>Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P100)

>Set [Color Mode] to [NATURAL]. (P108)

>Take pictures in bright places.

•Has [High Sens.] or [Hi-Speed Burst] in the Scene Mode been set? If so, the resolution of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a malfunction.

The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.

•If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not a malfunction.

When recording pictures or half-pressing the shutter button, reddish stripes may appear on the LCD monitor. Alternatively, part or all of the LCD monitor may turn a reddish color.

•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 when you take pictures you take care not to expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
