Troubleshooting
The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that
the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame
rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.
The LCD screen is too bright, and the subject cannot be seen.
• Set [BACK LIGHT] to [OFF].
• Set [HYPER GAIN] to [OFF].
The LCD screen is too dark, and the subject cannot be seen.
• Press and hold the DISPLAY button for a few seconds to turn on the backlight (p. 15).
Horizontal stripes appear on the image.
• This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury
lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 29).
The image appears divided horizontally.
• This occurs when you light the subject using a flash. This can be avoided by using a shutter
speed as slow as possible (p. 29).
Black bands appear when you record a TV screen or computer screen.
• This can be improved by adjusting the shutter speed (p. 29).
Fine patterns flicker, diagonal lines look jagged.
• Adjust [DETAIL] to the negative side (p. 37).
The time code is not recorded in sequence.
• The time code may not be recorded sequentially if you change the settings of [ /
SET] and [REC FORMAT].
Refer also to the “Memory card/flash memory unit” section (p. 92).
The desired images cannot be found. Images cannot be played back.
• Select the recording media and image quality of the image you want to play back on the
VISUAL INDEX screen (p. 47).
• Image data cannot be played back if you have modified file names or folders, or have edited
the data on a computer (When viewing still images, the file name flashes). This is not a
malfunction (p. 107).
• Images recorded on other devices may not be played back, or displayed in incorrect size. This
is not a malfunction.
