Q&A Troubleshooting
Recording (Continued)
Brightness or colouring of recorded picture different from real life.
●
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire
screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter
button halfway.
●
This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter
areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This
will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.
●
We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as
sunlight when taking pictures.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
●
With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
●
When recording motion picture, use a card rated with an SD speed class
*
of “Class 6” or higher.
*
SD speed class refers to a specification for sustained write speeds.
●
If recording stops even when using a card with speed of “Class 6” or faster, the data writing speed is
low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. (→39)
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, as in parallel with the
recording direction, at a speed that turning halfway around in approx. 4 seconds (guideline).
The beep volume is low.
●
The speaker is blocked.
LCD monitor
Monitor sometimes shuts off even though power is on.
●
After recording, monitor shuts off until next picture can be recorded. (Approx. 6 seconds (max.)
when recording to the built-in memory)
Brightness is unstable.
●
Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway.
(Does not affect recorded picture.)
Monitor flickers indoors.
●
The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning on. This is an operation to correct
flicker caused by lighting such as fluorescent lights, LED lights etc. and is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor is too bright or too dark.
●
Use [LCD Display] to adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor. (→36)
Black/blue/red/green dots or interference appears. Monitor looks distorted when
touched.
●
This is not a fault, and will not be recorded on the actual pictures, so there is no need to worry.
