Check points
≥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 Motion Picture Recording Mode, record in Intelligent 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.
≥In Still Picture Recording Mode, this will not affect the recorded image.
≥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.
