, any settings you have altered will be reset to default values.
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called
fl
are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light
source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.

“Interchangeable lenses” (P. 150)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times.

“Pixel Mapping - Checking the
image processing functions” (P. 157)
The subject appears distorted
The following functions use an electronic shutter:
movie recording (P. 57)/the
SCN
mode panorama (P. 35), “silent” (P. 35), and “multi-
focus shot” (P. 36) options/the
Z
mode “silent” (P. 42), panorama (P. 43), and
“focus bracketing” (P. 46) options
This may cause distortion if the subject is moving rapidly or the camera is moved abruptly.
Avoid moving the camera abruptly during shooting or use standard sequential shooting.
Lines appear in photographs
The following functions use an electronic shutter, which may result in lines due to
fl
icker and
other phenomena associated with
fl
uorescent and LED lighting, an effect that can sometimes
be reduced by choosing slower shutter speeds:
movie recording (P. 57)/the
SCN
mode panorama (P. 35), “silent” (P. 35), and “multi-
focus shot” (P. 36) options/the
Z
mode “silent” (P. 42), panorama (P. 43), and
“focus bracketing” (P. 46) options
The camera is stuck in manual focus (MF) mode
Some lenses are equipped with a manual focus clutch that engages manual focus when the
focus ring is slid back. Check the lens. More information can be found in the lens manual.
