Recording
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting
fixture.
•This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors. This is not a malfunction.
•If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be
reduced by setting a slower shutter speed. (→ 69)
•When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent
or LED lighting fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce
the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease] (→ 184) and fixing the
shutter speed. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative Video
Mode. (→ 86)
Cannot record pictures. The shutter will not operate immediately when the shutter button is
pressed.
•When [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [FOCUS], the camera will not record until proper focusing is
achieved. (→ 189)

•Lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.).
→ Turn the camera on to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.
