Q&A Troubleshooting (Continued)

Recording (continued)

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.

Reddish 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 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 midway.

●An AVCHD motion picture can be recorded continuously for up to 29 minutes 59 seconds when [GFS] or [FSH] is set.

●If [Rec Quality] is set to [GFS] or [FSH], and if the surrounding temperature is high, or motion picture is recorded continuously, is displayed, and the recording may be stopped halfway through.

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

●If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→14), the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it (→48).

The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)

●If the color of the subject is similar to that of its background, AF Tracking may not function. Set the AF area to those colors specific to the subject by aligning that area with the AF area.

LCD monitor

LCD monitor dims during motion picture recording.

●LCD monitor may dim if continuing motion picture recording for long periods.

Brightness is unstable.

●Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway.

(Does not affect recorded picture.) This symptom may also occur when the brightness changes because the zoom is operated or the camera is moved. This is the automatic aperture operation of the camera and is not a malfunction.

Monitor flickers indoors.

●Monitor may flicker after turning on (prevents influence from fluorescent lighting).

Monitor is too bright/too dark.

●[LCD Mode] is activated (→43).

Black/blue/red/green dots or interference appears. Monitor looks distorted when touched.

●This is not a fault, and will not be recorded on the actual pictures.
