With prolonged camera use, the internal
temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from
the camera and wait until the camera has suf
fi
ciently
cooled. The camera’s external temperature may
also increase during use, however this is normal and
does not indicate malfunction.

suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,
humid room.

pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear
sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however,
in the

“The camera makes a noise when taking pictures”.
The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This

actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.
