Conditions Causes
The subject is not
focused properly.
The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.
Set the proper recording mode for the distance to the subject.
Is the subject out of the focus range?
( P28 , 42 )
Have you taken a picture with jitter?
The subject is not focused until the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
The recorded picture
is blurred. The optical
image stabilizer is not
effective. When taking a picture in shaded areas or indoors, the shutter
speed becomes slow and the Optical Image Stabilizer function
may not work properly. In this case, we recommend holding the
camera with both hands
fi rmly to take pictures.
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.)
Reduce ISO sensitivity. ( P62 )
Set [COLOR MODE] to [NATURAL]. ( P65 )
Improve the ambient light.

In [HIGH SENS.] and [HI-SPEED BURST] mode, the resolution
of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high
sensitivity processing. This is not a malfunction.
The brightness or color
of the picture differs
from the actual scene.
Brightness and colors may change when using a fast shutter
speed under
fl uorescent lights, but this is a characteristic of
such lighting and 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 [PICTURE MODE] to [30fpsVGA] or
[30fps16:9], 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 or SDHC
Memory Card, recording may stop in the middle. •
•
Reddish vertical lines
appear on the LCD
monitor while shooting. This is a phenomenon called smear. It
is a characteristic of CCD and appears
when the subject has a bright part.
Irregularities may also appear around
the smear, but this is not a malfunction.
(It is recorded in motion pictures but
not on still pictures.)
We recommend not to let a strong
source of light such as the sun light
enter the screen when taking pictures. •
