Troubleshooting
Fuzzy specks appear in images shot using the flash.
• Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared in the image. This
is not a malfunction (page 11).
The close-up shoot function (Macro) does not work.
• (Twilight mode) or (Landscape mode) is selected in the Scene mode (page 27).
The date and time are not displayed.

button halfway down.

• Set [COLOR] (Color Mode) to [Normal] (page 33).
Vertical streaks appear when you are shooting a very bright subject.
• The smear phenomenon is occurring and white, black, red, purple, or other streaks appear on
the image. This phenomenon is not a malfunction.

the image under conditions of low illumination. There is no effect on the recorded image.
