Q&A Troubleshooting (Continued)
Recording (continued)
Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.
ISO sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low.
(Default SENSITIVITY setting is ‘AUTO’ – interference may appear with indoor
pictures.)
→ Lower ‘SENSITIVITY’ (P.51).
→ Set ‘COL. MODE’ to ‘NATURAL’ (P.57)
→ Take pictures in brighter locations.
Camera set to ‘HIGH SENS.’ scene mode (P.44).
(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)
Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.
Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and
result in slightly changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault.
Reddish vertical line (smear) appears during recording.
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.)
Motion picture recording stops midway.
Using MultiMediaCard (not compatible with motion picture recording).
‘PICT. MODE’ set to ‘30fps VGA’ or ‘30fps 16:9’ (P.47).
→ Use a card of at least 10MB/s (as marked on packaging, etc).
With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording
may end midway.
LCD monitor
Monitor sometimes shuts off even though power is on.
Camera set to ‘ECONOMY’ (P.20).
(LCD monitor shuts off during flash recharging)
After recording, monitor shuts off until next picture can be recorded.
(Maximum built-in memory usage approx. 6 sec)
Brightness is unstable.
Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway.
(Does not affect recorded picture.)
Monitor flickers indoors.
Monitor may flicker after turning on (prevents influence from fluorescent lighting).
Monitor is too bright/too dark.
Adjust LCD monitor brightness (P.20).
Camera set to ‘POWER LCD’ or ‘HIGH ANGLE’ (P.34).
Monitor may darken when internal temperature is low. Monitor will brighten again
when temperature rises.
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.
