When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed
may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics
of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting,
LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the colors and screen brightness may
change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
Use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures.
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a
card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower.
In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P48)
the card in this unit.
Set the AF area to the distinctive color of the subject if there is a part that is different from the
surrounding color. (P80)
If the camera is moved too slowly, the camera has assumed that camera motion was stopped
and ended the still picture recording.
If there is a great deal of shaking towards the recording direction while moving the camera,
recording is ended.
> When recording with [Panorama Shot], move the camera by trying to trace a small circle
parallel to the recording direction at a speed of about 8 seconds per revolution (estimated).
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual
scene.
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s
pickup sensors. 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 still pictures or motion pictures.
It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
Subject cannot be locked.
