No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the
shutter button is pressed halfway.
• To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the
shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button
halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly.
Subjects in shots look too dark.
• Set the ash mode to [h] (=
61).
• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (=
52).
• Adjust contrast by using i-Contrast (=
54, 80).
• Use AE lock or spot metering (=
53).
Subjects look too bright, highlights are washed-out.
• Set the ash mode to [!] (=
33).
• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (=

• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (=
39) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp
(=
3) in ash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about
one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye.
For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing
the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction (=
80).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting
is slower.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=
115).
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Tab Menu” (=
145 – 150).
Shooting Movies
The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.
• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high-
speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length
of movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time (=
115,
155).
[ ] is displayed and shooting stops automatically.
The camera’s internal memory buffer lled up as the camera could not record to the
memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=
115).
• Lower the image quality (=
36).
• Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording (=
155).
Zooming is not possible.
• Zooming is not possible when shooting movies in [ ] mode (=
46).
Subjects look distorted.
• Subjects that pass in front of the camera quickly may look distorted. This is not a
malfunction.
