 ■
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] (→200) 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. (→34)
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 you open the monitor, the display automatically switches to monitor display, and the [LVF] 
button and eye sensor are disabled.
 • When it is connected to a computer or printer, the camera can display pictures on the monitor only.
 ■
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 (→268) to write pictures from PC 
to card.
 • Set [Playback Mode] to [Normal Play]. (→206)
Red areas in pictures appear blackened.
 • When the digital red-eye correction ([ 
 ],  [   ],  [   ]) is operating, red areas may be 
blackened.
 → We recommend setting the flash mode to [ 
 ]/[   ] or [Red-Eye Removal] to [OFF] before 
recording. (→178)
