Recording (continued)
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the monitor during recording.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors like the one in this camera. It appears when the subject has a
bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not a malfunction. It is
recorded in motion pictures but is not on still pictures.
It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight or
any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
If the surrounding temperature is high, or a motion picture is recorded continuously, is displayed
and recording may be stopped halfway through to protect the camera.
With some memory cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may
end midway.
Use a card of SD Speed “Class 4” or higher. If recording stops even when using a card of the
recommended speed class, the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend
backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it (→64).
Panorama picture recording stops before finishing.
If the pan motion of the camera is too slow, the camera assumes that the operation has been
aborted and stops recording.
If the pan motion of the camera is too shaky when it is moved toward the recording direction, the
camera stops recording.
→ To record panorama pictures, pan the camera in a small circular motion parallel to the recording
direction at a speed of approx. 8 seconds per revolution (guideline).
The subject cannot be locked. (AF tracking fails)
If the color of the subject is similar to that of its background, AF Tracking may not function. Aim the
AF frame at an area of the subject with color specific to it.
