Recording (continued)
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.
●
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.
●
It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight or
any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
●
If the surrounding temperature is high, or a motion picture is recorded continuously,
is displayed
and recording may be stopped halfway through to protect the camera.
●
With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
●
Use a card of SD Speed “Class 4” or higher. If recording stops even when using a card of the
recommended speed class, the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend
backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it
(→66)
.
Panorama picture recording stops before finishing.
●
If the pan motion of the camera is too slow, the camera assumes that the operation has been
aborted and stops recording.
●
If the pan motion of the camera is too shaky when it is moved toward the recording direction, the
camera stops recording.
→ To record panorama pictures, pan the camera in a small circular motion parallel to the recording
direction at a speed of approx. 8 seconds per revolution (guideline).
The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)
●
If the colour of the subject is similar to that of its background, AF Tracking may not function. Set the
AF area to those colours specific to the subject by aligning that area with the AF area.
LCD monitor
Brightness is unstable.
●
Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway. (Does not affect recorded picture.)
This symptom may also occur when the brightness changes because the zoom is operated or the
camera is moved. This is the automatic aperture operation of the camera and is not a malfunction.
Monitor flickers indoors.
●
The LCD monitor may flicker for a few seconds after turning on. This is an operation to correct
flicker caused by lighting such as fluorescent lights, LED lights etc. and is not a malfunction.
Monitor is too bright/too dark.
●
[Monitor Luminance] is activated
(→59)
●
Use [Monitor Display] to adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor.
(→59)
Black/blue/red/green dots or interference appears. Monitor looks distorted when
touched.
●
This is not a fault, and will not be recorded on the actual pictures.
