Shutter speed, gain, white balance or iris cannot be adjusted manually.

• Set the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL.

Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or green appear on the screen.

• This phenomenon appears when using a slow shutter speed (p. 32). This is not a malfunction.

The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked.

This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.

The screen picture is bright, and the subject does not appear on the screen.

Set [BACK LIGHT] to [OFF].

Set [HYPER GAIN] to [OFF].

The screen picture is dark, and the subject does not appear on the screen.

Press and hold the DISPLAY/BATT INFO button for a few seconds to turn on the backlight (p. 18).

Horizontal stripes appear on the image.

This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 32).
