7: 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. the ISO
sensitivity increases.)
–Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P75)
–Increase the setting for
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.]
or lower the setting for each of the
items other than
[NOISE REDUCTION]. (P84)
–Take pictures in bright places.
•In [HIGH SE NS.] (P61) in scene mode,
the resolution of the recorded picture
decreases slightly because of high
sensitivity processing.
This is not a malfunction.
8: 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.
9: A reddish vertical line appears on
the LCD monitor when the shutter
button is pressed halfway or when
recording motion pictures.
•This is a
phenomenon called
smear. It is a
characteristic of
CCD and appears
when the subject
has a bright part. Black or green vertical
lines may also appear or uneven colors
may appear around the smear. This is
not a malfunction. It is recorded in
motion pictures but is not recorded on
still pictures.
10:When the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the image becomes a still
image for that instant.

MultiMediaCards.
•When you set the picture quality to
[30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], we
recommend using a High Speed SD
Memory Card with “10MB/s” or greater
displayed on the package.
•Depending on the type of the card,
recording may stop in the middle.

•The LCD monitor may flicker for a few
seconds after turning the camera on
indoors under fluorescent light.
