This does not affect the performance or quality of the camera. • When the brightness changes due to zoom or camera movement etc., the lens may click and the picture on the screen may drastically change. However, the picture is not affected. The sound is caused by the automatic adjustment of the aperture. This is not a malfunction. • 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. When you take a picture before setting the clock, [AM12:00 0. 0. 0] is recorded. (P17) • At some magnification levels, the pictures taken are slightly distorted or the outlines and other areas in the pictures taken are colored, but this is not a malfunction. The card is not recognized by the PC. (The built-in memory is recognized.) The picture cannot be printed when the camera is connected to a printer. The ends of the pictures are cut at printing. Others An unreadable language was selected by mistake. A red lamp sometimes turns on when the shutter button is pressed halfway. The AF assist lamp does not turn on. The camera becomes warm. The lens clicks. The clock is reset. When pictures are taken using the zoom, they are slightly distorted and the areas around the subject contain colors which are not actually present.
