Recording (continued)
The subject appears distorted.
●
An MOS is used as the imaging device for this unit, so if the subject passes quickly in front of the
lens, it will appear slightly distorted. Note, however, that this does not indicate a malfunction.
An unusual noise, such as a clicking or buzzing noise, is recorded on a motion picture.
The audio level is extremely low.
●
When recording a motion picture in a quiet environment, noise due to the motion of the aperture and
focusing mechanism may be recorded on the motion picture. Note that this is not a fault. You can set
the focus operation during motion picture recording to [OFF] using [Continuous AF]
(→151)
.
●
Note that if you perform operations such as zoom, using buttons or dials, while recording a motion
picture, operation noise may be recorded.
●
If you block off the microphone opening while recording a motion picture, the audio level may be
low, or the audio may not be recorded. Note that in this case, noise due to the motion of the lens is
more likely to be recorded.
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 lock to the colours specific to the subject.
Flash

●
The flash is retracted into the camera housing.
→ Operate the flash open switch to open the flash.

•[WB Bracket] [Aspect Bracket] [Auto Bracket]
•Scene Modes ([Scenery] [Panorama Shot] [Night Scenery] [Handheld Night Shot] [HDR] [Sunset]
[Glass Through] [3D Photo Mode])
•[Creative Control] mode (excluding [Smooth Defocus] and [Radial Defocus])
