Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures.
•
The battery is exhausted.
>Charge the battery.
•If you leave the camera on , the battery will be exhausted.
> Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc.
•When a high ambient temperature, continuous recording in Burst Mode or of a motion picture, 
continuous use of a Wi-Fi connection or other conditions are causing the camera to overheat, [ ]  
flashes. If a message is displayed after [ ] flashes, the camera will turn off automatically to protect 
itself. When this happens, some functions will be disabled until the camera cools down.
•The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.
•There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.•Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?•Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?
•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.•Are you using a lens  which supports the Stabilizer function?
•When a moving subject is recorded with the electronic shutter, the subject may appear 
distorted on the picture.
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] on the [Setup] menu.
The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on.
The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on.
This unit suddenly turns off during recording.
The subject is not focused properly.
The recorded picture is blurred.
The Optical Image Stabilizer is not effective.
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting fixture.
•This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the 
camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
•Are you taking pictures with the electronic shutter?
>When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed 
may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.
