Check points

≥Check that the device is compatible with the capacity or type of SD card (SD Memory Card/SDHC Memory Card) that you inserted. Refer to the operating instructions of the device for details.

≥No operation can be performed on this unit when it is connected to a PC.

≥Turn off the power to this unit. If the power cannot be turned off, remove the battery or AC adaptor and then reattach it. Turn on the power again. If normal operation is still not restored, detach the power connected, and contact consumer support. (l 153, 154)

≥Color or brightness of the image may change, or you may see horizontal bars in the image when the object is recorded under fluorescent light, mercury light or sodium light, etc., but this is not a malfunction. In this case, record in auto mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 in areas where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz.

≥Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

≥If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white round spots may appear on the picture caused by the flash reflecting of particles of dust in the air. This is not a malfunction.

A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots and their position differ in every picture.

≥The unit has automatically detected an error. Restart the unit by turning off and on the power.

≥The power will be turned off in about 1 minute if the power is not turned off and on.

≥Repair is needed if it is repeatedly displayed even if it is restarted. Detach the power connected, contact consumer support. (l 153, 154) Do not attempt to repair the unit by yourself.
