• Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P92)
> Set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL]. (P101)
> Take pictures in bright places.
• Has [HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in the Scene Mode been set? If so, the resolution of
the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a
malfunction.
• If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the
shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not
a malfunction.
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> When you set the picture quality to [ ], [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.
> In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed
has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P29).
• If the subject has different colors as the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to
the subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (P97)
• It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on
the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the
image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used.
This is not a malfunction.
The recorded picture looks rough.
Noise appears on the picture.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual

A reddish vertical line (smear) appears on the LCD monitor during
picture-taking.
•
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and 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 recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose
the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
