The orange lamp on the right of the
viewfinder blinks for a few seconds and
then goes out.
Oblique lines on the subject may appear as zigzag lines on the monitor,
but this is not malfunction.
Vertical stripes may appear in the monitor image if it is shot under bright
conditions (such as a sunny sky). This is not a malfunction.
The image displayed on the monitor is intended for use in checking the
composition and does not show the correct focus and exposure
conditions. Image focusing and exposure should be checked on a TV or
PC screen after shooting. (
