Conditions Causes
Images are grainy or
noisy.
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(When set to [AUTO], ISO sensitivity increases for indoor and
other shooting occasions. When set to [ ], ISO sensitivity may
increase depending on movements and brightness of the subject.)
• Reduce ISO sensitivity. (P84)
• Set [NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to [HIGH] or set
every item except [NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW]. (P91)
• Improve the ambient light.
In [HIGH SENS.] (P68) in scene mode, the resolution of the recorded
picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing.
This is not a malfunction.
Shooting of motion
pictures stops
unexpectedly.
This camera is not compatible with motion picture recording
on MultiMediaCards.
•
When you set the [PICT.MODE] to [30fpsVGA], [30fps16:9L] or
[15fps16:9H], we recommend using cards that offer 10 MB/second or
higher speeds (shown on their packages and elsewhere) for best results.
• Depending on the type of SD Memory Card, recording may
stop in the middle.
The picture freezes
momentarily when the shutter
button is pressed halfway.
• Is the AF mode 3-area-focusing (high speed) or 1-area-
focusing (high speed)? (P88)
