>Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P76)

>Take pictures in bright places.

•Have you set [High Sens.] in Scene Mode, or [Burst] in [Rec] menu to [ ]?

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.

•When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.

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

•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.
