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.

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.

●Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 4’∗ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in [AVCHD Lite(GPS REC)]/[AVCHD Lite].

Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’∗ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures in ‘MOTION JPEG’.

∗ The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.

●If recording stops even when using the card above, the data writing speed is low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it (→28).

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. (→100)

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.)

Monitor flickers indoors.

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

Monitor is too bright/too dark.

●Camera set to [LCD MODE] (→23).

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, so there is no need to worry.

Date/age is not displayed.

●Current date, travel elapsed days (→90), and names and ages in [BABY] and [PET] (→65) Scene Modes are only displayed for approx. 5 sec. when the camera is turned on, after these settings are made, or after switching from Playback Mode to Recording Mode, etc. They cannot be always displayed.
