Troubleshooting
Full-screen display is not available while shooting ( = 113).
[ h ] flashes on the screen when the shutter button is pressed, and
shooting is not possible (
=
93).
No date stamp is added to images.
• Configure the [Date Stamp] setting ( = 104). Note that date stamps are not added
to images automatically, merely because you have configured the [Date/Time] setting
( = 23).
• Date stamps are not added in shooting modes ( = 268 – 269) in which this setting
cannot be configured ( = 104).
[ ] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (
=
103).
• Set [IS Mode] to [Continuous] ( = 169).
• Set the flash mode to [ h ] ( = 164).
• Increase the ISO speed ( = 150).
• Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In this case, you
should set [IS Mode] to [Off] ( = 169).
Shots are out of focus.
• Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way
down to shoot ( = 83).
• Make sure subjects are within focusing range ( = 274).
• Set [AF‑assist Beam] to [On] ( = 121).
• Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated.
• Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock ( = 160, 163).
Shots are blurry.
• Blurring may occur more often when Touch Shutter is used to shoot, depending on
shooting conditions. Hold the camera still when shooting.
No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the
shutter button is pressed halfway.
• To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the
shot with higher‑contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button
halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly.
Subjects in shots look too dark.
• Set the flash mode to [ h ] ( = 164).
• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation ( = 149).
• Adjust contrast by using i‑Contrast ( = 151, 203).
• Use AE lock or spot metering ( = 149, 150).
