Troubleshooting
First, try out the following procedures.
•
Please also refer to the “Owner’s Manual for advanced features (PDF format)”, which 
describes more detailed information.
•The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabilizer. This is not a malfunction.
•The battery is exhausted.
> Charge the battery. (P12)
•This phenomenon occurs when charging in a location where the te mperature is very 
high or very low.
> Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) in a location where the ambient 
temperature (and the temperature of battery) is in a 10 oC to 30oC (50 oF to 86 oF) 
range, and try charging again.
•If your PC is not capable of supplying sufficient power, charging is not possible.
•When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is selected, the battery drains faster .
> Select [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.
If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting  [Reset] on 
the [Setup] menu.
When I shake the camera, I hear a rattling sound.
The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on.
The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on.
The charging lamp blinks.
The battery becomes flat too quickly.

•The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.•Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?•Is [Shutter AF] in the [Custom] menu set to [OFF]?•Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?
•The shutter speed will become slower and the Image Stabilizer function may not work 
properly when taking pictures especially in dark places.
>We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow 
shutter speed.
•If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion 
picture or a 4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the  picture. This is 
characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not 
a malfunction.
•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 m ay reduce the effect 
of the horizontal stripes.
•If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED 
lighting fixture when recording motion pictures, you can reduce the flicker or striping by 
setting up [Flkr Decrease] and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter 
speed from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in 
the Creative Video Mode. (P25)
•When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter 
speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the 
characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfu nction.
•When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or record ing under fluorescent 
lighting, LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting,  etc., the colors and screen 
brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
The subject is not focused properly.
The recorded picture is blurred.
The Image Stabilizer is not effective.
The subject appears distorted on the picture.
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluoresce nt lighting 
and LED lighting fixture.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different  from the 
actual scene.
