∫It is not a malfunction in following cases
Others
Troubleshooting
Object seems to be 
warped. ≥
Object seems to be warped slightly when the 
object moves across the image very fast, but 
this is because the unit is using MOS for the 
image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
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 round spots 
may appear on 
the picture caused by the flash reflecting of 
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.
Why does the 
displayed image 
contain some red, 
blue and green 
dots, or why are 
black spots visible. ≥
Condition due to the LCD monitor 
characteristics. Not a malfunction. Spots only 
appear in the LCD monitor and will not be 
recorded with the images.
The lens or LCD 
monitor fog up. ≥
This is due to condensation. This is not a 
malfunction. Please refer to page  11. 
						

							- 216 -
The zoom button, 
rear door, etc. 
cannot be moved≥
If the unit is used in a cold place such as a ski 
slope or high-altitude location and left it with 
snow or water droplets adhering to it, the 
frozen snow or water droplets may fill the 
gaps around the zoom button and power 
button, causing unstable operation. This is 
not a malfunction. The operation will return to 
normal when the unit regains its normal 
temperature.
