■ Playback
Conditions Causes
Pictures rotate 
unexpectedly.One of the features of this unit can automatically detect when 
you have turned the camera side on to take a picture, then 
rotate that picture for you when you play it back.
In some cases, the unit may detect that you have turned the 
camera sideways, when in fact you are facing it up or down. 
•  Set [ROTATE DISP.] (P74) to [OFF] so that the camera 
does not rotate these kinds of pictures for you.
•  You can use [ROTATE] (P74) to rotate the pictures when 
necessary.
The picture is not played 
back.Is the mode dial set to playback [
Q]?
Is there a picture on the built-in memory or the card?
•  The pictures on the built-in memory appear when a card is 
not inserted. The picture data on the card appears when a 
card is inserted. (P16)
Folder or fi le number 
appears as [-] and the 
display goes black.The picture may have been changed on a computer or taken 
on a different manufacturer’s camera. 
This problem can also occur if you remove the batteries 
immediately after taking a picture or if the batteries had very 
little charge left.
•  You will need to reformat the card to delete this type of 
picture. (P83) (Remember that all data will be irretrievably 
erased when you format the card, so save your data and 
check the card before proceeding.)
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. (P68)
Is the clock in the camera set properly? (P17)
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.

Others
Conditions Causes
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 specifi cations 
and is not a malfunction.
Cannot play motion 
pictures on a television.You cannot play motion pictures if you have inserted the card 
into a card slot on a television.
Connect the camera to the television with the included video 
cable and play the pictures on this unit. (P91)
The picture size does not 
fi t the TV screen.Check the [TV ASPECT] setting on this unit. (P23)
Cannot upload pictures 
to your computer.Check the connections.
Check that the computer has correctly recognized the 
camera.
Set the camera’s mode dial to a mode other than Print mode 
(P84).
The computer does not 
recognize the card. 
(The built-in memory is 
recognized.)Disconnect the USB connection cable, then insert the card 
and reconnect the cable.
The pictures cannot be 
printed with printers.Does the printer support PictBridge? You cannot print 
pictures with printers which do not support PictBridge. (P87)
Set the camera’s mode dial to Print mode (P87).
The sides of printed 
images are cut off.•  If your printer has trimming and border settings, change the 
settings so that there is no trimming and no border. (Read 
your printer’s operating instructions.)
•  Some photography shops can handle pictures shot in the 
[
j] aspect ratio (P62). Enquire before sending them for 
printing.

Conditions Causes
The AF assist lamp does 
not turn on.Is [AF ASSIST LAMP] on the [REC] mode menu set to [ON]? 
(P66)
Are you taking pictures in dark places? The AF assist lamp 
does not turn on in bright places.
The AF assist lamp does not turn on when [SCENERY], 
[NIGHT SCENERY], [SUNSET], [FIREWORKS] or [AERIAL 
PHOTO] in scene mode (P47) is selected.
The camera gets hot.The camera may get a little warm while you are using it, but 
this is normal.
The lens clicks.When brightness has changed due to the zoom or the 
movement of the camera or other, the lens may click and the 
picture on the screen may be drastically changed, however, 
the pictures are not affected.
The sound is caused by automatic adjustment of the 
aperture. It is not a malfunction.
The clock setting is 
reset.If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock setting 
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.
Images appear slightly 
distorted. Images may be taken with some distortion depending on the 
zoom ratio. This distortion increases as you get nearer the 
subject, but it is not a malfunction. 
Strange colors appear 
around the edge of the 
image.Depending on the zoom magnifi cation, 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.
File numbers are not 
created in order.Certain operations cause pictures to be saved in folders with 
different numbers. (P85)
The fi le numbers are 
recorded in ascending 
order.If the batteries are 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 fi le numbers may be recorded in ascending order. 
The picture is displayed 
black.Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may be displayed in 
black in playback mode (P34), multi playback (P67) and 
calender playback (P68).

•  The number of recordable pictures and the available recording time vary depending on 
the subjects.
•  The numbers inside the thick black line are the number of recordable pictures in simple 
mode [ ]. (P28)
