Selecting AC frequency
This camera is set to your country's AC mains frequency (e.g. 60Hz for US, 50Hz for Europe). If you
take photos under an electric light source in another country with a different frequency, you have to set
the frequency to match the AC mains frequency of the country you are in. Otherwise horizontal, black
stripes will be found on the taken photos due to incorrect mains frequency. There will be no problems
when taking photos under sunlight.
To change the frequency:
1. Press Mode button repeatedly until "60 (Hz)" or "50 (Hz)" is shown on the LCD panel.
2. Press Shutter button to change from "60 (Hz)" to "50 (Hz)" (or from "50 (Hz)" to "60 (Hz)" to match
that country's AC mains frequency.
For example, if the preset for your camera is 60 (Hz), you will see 50 (Hz) on the LCD panel when
you press Mode button repeatedly. To change to 50 (Hz), press Shutter button once.
