Troubleshooting

Fuzzy specks appear in images shot using the flash.

•

Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared in the image. This 
is not a malfunction (page 11).

The close-up shooting function (Macro) does not work.

•

 (Twilight) mode or 

 (Landscape) mode is selected in the Camera (Scene Selection) 

(page 32).

Macro shooting cannot be released.

•

There is no function for releasing a macro. In 

 (Auto) mode, telephoto shooting is 

possible even in the macro shooting condition.

The date and time are not displayed.

•

While shooting, the date and time are not displayed. They are displayed only during playback.

Cannot insert dates on images.

•

This camera does not have a feature for superimposing dates on images (page 89). 
By using “PMB”, you can print or save images with the date (page 65).

The F value and shutter speed flash when you press and hold the shutter 
button halfway down.

•

The exposure is incorrect. Correct the exposure (page 36).

The screen is too dark or too bright.

•

Select the brightness of the LCD backlight (page 18).

The image is too dark.

•

You are shooting a subject with a light source behind the subject. Select the metering mode 
(page 38) or adjust the exposure (page 36).

The image is too bright.

•

Adjust the exposure (page 36).

The image colors are not correct.

•

Set [Color Mode] to [Normal] (page 44).

Vertical streaks appear when you are shooting a very bright subject.

•

The smear phenomenon is occurring and white, black, red, purple, or other streaks appear on 
the image. This phenomenon is not a malfunction.
