Troubleshooting

A clicking sound is heard 
when the unit is shaken.

This is the sound of the lens moving and is not a defect.
This sound will no longer be heard when the unit is turned on 
and set this unit to the Motion Picture Recording Mode or Still 
Picture Recording Mode.

Object seems to be 
warped.

Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves 
across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is 
using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

The lens, the viewfinder or 
LCD monitor fog up.

This is due to condensation. It is not a malfunction. Please 
refer to page 5.
