Q&A Troubleshooting
■
Flash
No flash emitted.
• The flash becomes unavailable in the following cases.
– The flash is closed.
– Flash set to [
] (Forced Flash Off). (→161, 165)
• Set [Shutter Type] to [AUTO] or [MSHTR]. (→201)
• Set [Silent Mode] to [OFF]. (→201)
■
Monitor/viewfinder
The monitor/viewfinder is turned off although the camera is turned on.
• If no operations are performed during the set time period [Auto LVF/Monitor Off] (→226) is
activated, and the monitor/viewfinder turns off.
• When a hand or an object is close to the eye sensor, the monitor display mode could be switched
to viewfinder display mode. (→45)
It may flicker for an instant or the brightness of the screen may change significantly for an
instant.
• This occurs due to the aperture of the lens changing when the shutter button is pressed halfway, or
when the brightness of the subject changes. This is not a malfunction.
Cannot switch between the monitor and viewfinder when pressing [LVF] button.
• When it is connected to a computer or printer, the camera can display pictures on the monitor only.
The colour tone of the viewfinder differs from the actual tone.
• Being a characteristic of the viewfinder of this unit, this phenomenon is not a problem. Recorded
images are not affected.
■
Playback
Cannot view pictures. There are no recorded pictures.
• A card is not inserted in the camera.
• Has the file name of the picture been changed on a computer? If so, it cannot be played back on
the camera.
→ It is recommended to use the “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” software (→305) to write pictures from PC
to card.
• Set [Playback Mode] to [Normal Play]. (→237)
Red areas in pictures appear blackened.
• When the digital red-eye correction ([
], [ ]) is operating, red areas may be blackened.
→ We recommend closing the built-in flash, setting the flash mode to [
], or setting [Red-Eye
Removal] to [OFF] before recording. (→198)
