temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature conditions also apply to the battery 
itself).  
(When the USB connection cable is reconnected after the battery is fully charged, the charging 
lamp will light for approximately 15 seconds.)

Recording
Cannot record pictures. ●Built-in memory/card is full. →  Free space by deleting unwanted pic tures (→50).
Recorded pictures look white. ●Lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.). →  Turn the camera on to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.
 ●Lens is foggy (→7).
Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark. ●Adjust the exposure (→90). ●[Min. Shtr Speed] is set to fast speed. Check the setting  (→135).
Some pictures are taken when I press the shutter button just once. ●Camera is set to use [Auto Bracket] or [Burst].
Focus not aligned correctly. ●Not set to mode appropriate for distance to subject. (Focus range varies according to recording 
mode.)
 ●Subject outside of focus range. (→79) ●Caused by jitter or subject movement.  (→38)
Recorded pictures are blurred. The stabilizer function ineffective. ●Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and the stabilizer function is less ef fective. →  Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body
.
 ●Use a tripod and the self-timer (→89) when using slower shutter speed with [Min. Shtr Speed].
Cannot use [Auto Bracket]. ●Only enough memory for 2 pictures or fewer.
Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference. ●ISO Sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low. (Default [Sensitivity] setting is [AUT
O] – interference may appear with indoor pictures.)
 →  Lowe

r [Sensitivity]  (→130).
 →  T

ake pictures in brighter locations.
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.
Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life. ●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 malfunction.
 ●When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording 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.

Recording (continued)
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording. ●This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’ s pickup sensors. It appears when 
the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not 
a malfunction. It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
 ●It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight or 
any other source of strong light.
Motion picture recording stops midway. ●If the surrounding temperature is high, or a motion picture is recorded continuously ,  is displayed 
and recording may be stopped halfway through to protect the camera.
 ●With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway. ●Use a card of SD Speed “Class 4” or higher. If recording stops even when using a card of the 
recommended speed class, the data writing speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend 
backing up the data on the memory card and formatting it  (→64).
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.
 →  T

o 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 color of the subject is similar to that of its background,  AF Tracking may not function. Set the 
AF area to those colors specific to the subject by aligning that area with the  AF area.
