[READ ERROR/WRITE ERROR
PLEASE CHECK THE CARD]
It has failed to read or write data.
> Remove the card after turning the power [OFF]. Insert the card again, turn the power on,
and try to read or write the data again.
The card may be broken.
> Insert a different card.
[CANNOT RECORD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT (NTSC/PAL) DATA ON THIS
CARD.]
> If you want to delete some pictures, format the card after saving necessary data on a PC
etc. (P68)
> Insert a different card.
[MOTION RECORDING WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE
WRITING SPEED OF THE CARD]
Use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures in
[AVCHD].
Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 6” or higher when recording motion pictures
in [MOTION JPEG].
In the event that it stops even after using a “Class 4” card or higher, the data writing speed has
deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format (P68).
Depending on the type of the card, motion picture recording may stop in the middle.
[A FOLDER CANNOT BE CREATED]
A folder cannot be created because there are no remaining folder numbers that can be used.
> Format the card after saving necessary data on a PC etc. (P68) If you execute
[NO.RESET] in the [SETUP] menu after formatting, the folder number is reset to 100.
(P68)
[PICTURE IS DISPLAYED FOR 16:9 TV]/[PICTURE IS DISPLAYED FOR 4:3 TV]
Select [TV ASPECT] in the [SETUP] menu if you want to change the TV aspect. (P66)
This message also appears when the USB connection cable is connected to the camera only.
In this case, connect the other end of the USB connection cable to a PC or a printer. (P176,
178)
[EDITING OPERATION CANNOT PROCEED AS INFORMATION PROCESSING IS
ONGOING.]
When a card with pictures deleted or file names changed using a PC or other device is
inserted into this unit, it will automatically retrieve new information and reconstruct the
burst groups. The currently retrieving information icon [ ] may be displayed in the
playback screen for long period of time when there are many image files, and deletion or
[PLAYBACK] Mode menu cannot be used during this time.
If you switch the power switch to [OFF] while information is being retrieved, the pictures for
which information was retrieved up to that point will be saved as a burst group. When you
switch on again, the information retrieval will restart from the same point.
[Lens not detected. Please turn camera on again.]
This is displayed when the lens has stopped operating normally due to being pressed on by a
hand etc.
> Turn the camera off and on. If the message persists, contact the dealer or your nearest
Service Centre.
