5: The camera becomes warm.
• The surface of the camera may become 
warm during use. This does not affect 
the performance or quality of the 
camera.
6: The lens clicks.
• 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.
7: 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. (P17)
• When you take a picture before setting 
the clock, [0:00 0. 0. 0] is recorded.
8: 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.9: 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. (P93)
10: 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.
11: The picture is displayed in black.
• Pictures edited or rotated with a PC 
may be displayed in black in playback 
mode (P32), multi playback (P64) and 
calendar playback (P65).
