s
The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.
s
There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.
s
Is [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM MENU] menu set to [OFF]?
In this case, the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in Focus Mode is
set.
s
Is the AF lock applied in inappropriate way?
s
The shutter speed will become slower and the Optical Image Stabilizer function may not work
properly when taking pictures especially in dark places.
We recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures.
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow
shutter speed.
s
Is the number of recordable pictures 2 or less?
The subject is not focused properly.
The recorded picture is blurred.
The Optical Image Stabilizer is not effective.
Taking pictures using White Balance Bracket is not possible.
s
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
Decrease the ISO sensitivity.
Increase the setting for [NOISE RED.] in [FILM MODE] or lower the setting for each of the
items other than [NOISE RED.].
Take pictures in bright places.
Set the
[LONG SHTR NR]
to [ON].
s
If recording under fluorescent light, the brightness or the hue may change slightly when the
shutter speed becomes fast. This occurs due to the characteristics of fluorescent light. It is not
a malfunction.
s
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. It appears
when the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
s
It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight
or any other source of strong light.
s
It is recommended to use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 6” or higher when recording
motion pictures.
SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
s
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
When you set the picture quality to [ ], [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.
In the event that it stops even after using a “10MB/s” card or higher, the data writing speed
has deteriorated so it is recommended to make a backup and then format.

Are you in Exposure Compensation operation?
Press the front dial to switch to Exposure Compensation operation.
