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.)

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.

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.
