APPENDIX
The subject is out of focus in
the recorded image.
The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located
inside the focus frame.
The flash does not fire. 1) If “ ” (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 75).
2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 36).
3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses the “ ” (Flash Off) flash mode is selected, change to a different
flash mode (page 75) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 104).
Camera powers down during
self-timer countdown.
The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 36).
The monitor screen image is
out of focus.
1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the image. Focus the image (page 129).
2) You may be using the macro mode for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and
portrait shots (page 122).
3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or the Infinity mode when shooting a close-up shot. Use the
Macro mode for close
ups (page 123).
There is a vertical line on the
monitor screen.
Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is
a CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that
vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a
movie.
There is digital noise in
images.
1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark subject, which increases the chance of
digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location while “ ” (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode,
which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, change to a different
flash mode (page 75) or use lights for illumination.
3) Flash assist or dynamic range may be enabled for snapshots, which can cause an increase in digital
noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
An image I shot was not
saved.
1) Camera power may have been turned off before the sa
ve operation was complete, which will result in
the image not being saved. When the battery indicator shows “ ”, charge the battery as soon as
possible (page 36).
2) You may have removed the memory card from the camera before the save operation was complete,
which will result in the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card before the save
operation is complete.
