∫Flash
1: The flash is not activated.
Is the flash closed?
– Slide the [ OPEN] lever to open the 
flash. (P64)
The flash is not activated when the 
[SCENERY] mode, 
[NIGHT SCENERY], [ILLUMINATIONS] 
or [CREATIVE NIGHT SCENERY] in 
[NIGHT PORTRAIT] mode, or 
[SUNSET] in scene mode are selected.
2: The flash is activated 2 times.
The flash is activated 2 times. The 
interval between the first and second 
flash is longer when AUTO/Red-eye 
reduction [ ], Forced ON/Red-eye 
reduction [ ] or Slow sync./Red-eye 
reduction [ ] is set so the subject 
should not move until the second flash 
is activated.
3: The flash is activated continuously.
When the flash is activated it may be 
activated continuously. It is activated as 
an AF assist lamp when phase 
difference AF is set.
∫Playback
1: The picture being played back is not 
rotated, or is rotated in an 
unexpected direction, when 
displayed.
The camera has a function that 
automatically rotates the display of 
pictures recorded holding the camera 
vertically. (If you take pictures when 
aiming the camera up or down, the 
camera may recognize that it is being 
held vertically.)
You can display the pictures without 
being rotated when [ROTATE DISP.] 
(P111) is set to [OFF].
You can rotate pictures with the 
[ROTATE] function. (P111)You can only display the pictures 
rotated if you use a lens that supports 
the direction detection function (P13) 
and [ROTATE DISP.] is set to [ON].
2: The picture is not played back.
Did you press [ ]?
Is the card inserted?
Is there a picture in the card?
3: The folder number and the file 
number are displayed as [`] and the 
screen turns black.
Is the picture edited with a PC or 
recorded with a digital camera from 
another manufacturer?
This may happen if you remove the 
battery immediately after recording or 
you record with an exhausted battery.
– Format the data to delete the pictures 
mentioned above. (P32) (Formatting 
irretrievably deletes all data including 
the other pictures. Check the data 
carefully before formatting.)
Pictures edited or rotated with a PC 
may be displayed in black in playback 
mode (P48), multi playback (P52) and 
calendar playback (P53).
4: The picture is displayed with a date 
different from the actual recording 
date in calendar playback.
Was the picture edited with a PC or 
recorded with a digital camera from 
another manufacturer?
This kind of picture may be displayed with 
a date different from the actual recording 
date in calendar playback. (P53)
Is the clock in the camera set properly? 
(P24)
For example, if the clock setting on the 
camera is different from the date and 
time set on the PC and you acquire 
pictures recorded with the camera to 
the PC and then write them back to the 
card, the pictures may be displayed with 
dates different from the actual recording 
dates in calendar playback etc.

5: White round spots like soap bubbles 
appear on the recorded picture.
If you take a 
picture with the 
flash in a dark 
place or 
indoors, white 
orbs may 
appear in the picture because the flash 
reflects off particles of dust in the air. 
This is not a malfunction.
A characteristic of this is that the 
number of round spots and their 
position differ in every picture.
∫TV, PC and printer
1: The picture does not appear on the 
television.
Is the camera connected to the TV 
correctly?
Set the TV input to external input mode.
2: The display areas on the TV screen 
and the camera’s LCD monitor are 
different.
Depending on the TV model, the area 
display may be smaller so the picture 
may be stretched horizontally or 
vertically and the top and bottom or left 
and right of the picture may be cut off 
when it is displayed. This is due to the 
TV specifications and is not a 
malfunction.
3: The picture cannot be transferred 
when the camera is connected to a 
PC.
Is the camera connected to the PC 
correctly?
Is the camera recognized by the PC 
correctly?
Set [USB MODE] to [PC]. (P30, 118)4: The card is not recognized by the 
PC.
Disconnect the USB connection cable. 
Connect it again while the card is 
inserted in the camera.
5: The picture cannot be printed when 
the camera is connected to a printer.
Does the printer support PictBridge?
– You cannot print pictures with printers 
which do not support PictBridge. 
(P120)
Set [USB MODE] to [PictBridge (PTP)]. 
(P30, 120)
6: The ends of the pictures are cut at 
printing.
When using a printer with a trimming or 
borderless printing function, cancel this 
function before printing. (For details, 
refer to the operating instructions for the 
printer.)
Depending on the photo printing store, 
you may be able to print pictures in 16:9 
size if they were recorded when the 
aspect ratio setting (P94) was [16:9]. 
Check with the photo printing store 
before printing.
7: The picture is not displayed fully on 
the TV.
Check the [TV ASPECT] setting on the 
camera. (P31)
∫Others
1: An unreadable language was 
selected by mistake.
Press [MENU/SET], select the [SETUP] 
menu icon [ ] and then select the [ ] 
icon to set the desired language. (P31)
2: A sound is heard when the camera is 
turned on or off.
This is the sound of lens or aperture 
movement and is not a malfunction.

3: A certain part of the picture appears 
blinking in black and white.
Is [HIGHLIGHT] set to [ON]? 
– This appears due to the highlight 
feature function which shows white 
saturated areas. (P30)
4: The AF assist lamp does not turn on.
Check the [AF ASSIST LAMP] setting 
in the [CUSTOM MENU] menu. (P106)
Are you taking pictures in dark places?
– The AF assist lamp does not turn on 
in bright places.
5: The camera becomes warm.
The surface of the camera and the 
reverse side of the LCD monitor may 
become warm during use. This does 
not affect the performance or quality of 
the camera.
6: The clock is reset.
If you do not use the camera for a long 
time, the clock may be reset. When the 
message [PLEASE SET THE CLOCK] 
appears, set the clock again. (P24)
When you take a picture before setting 
the clock, [0:00 0. 0. 0] is recorded.
7: Colors appear on the picture which 
were not found in the actual scene. 
Depending on the zoom magnification, 
the picture may have some colored 
fringes around the subject. This is 
called chromatic aberration and may be 
more visible when recording distant 
subjects. However this is not a 
malfunction.
8: The file numbers are not recorded 
consecutively. 
When you perform an operation after 
taking a certain action, the pictures may 
be recorded in folders with different 
numbers from the ones used prior to 
the operation. (P119)9: The file numbers are recorded in 
ascending order.
If the battery is inserted or removed 
when the camera is not turned off, the 
recorded folder numbers are lost. 
However if you turn the camera on 
again and record pictures, the recorded 
folder numbers are different from the 
prior recorded folder numbers.
