Causes
The subject is not 
focused properly.
The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.
To set the proper mode for the distance to the subject, rotate 
the mode dial.
Is the subject out of the focus range? (P25, 46)
Have you taken a picture with jitter?
Sometimes two or three 
pictures are taken with 
a single press of the 
shutter button.
Is the camera set in burst mode (P65)?
The recorded picture 
is blurred. The optical 
image stabilizer is not 
effective.
When taking a picture in shaded areas or indoors, the shutter 
speed becomes slow and the Optical Image Stabilizer 
function may not work properly. In this case, we recommend 
holding the camera with both hands fi rmly to take pictures 
(P25).
Images are grainy or 
noisy.
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(When set to [AUTO], ISO sensitivity increases for indoor and 
other shooting occasions.)
• Reduce ISO sensitivity. (P61)
• Set [COL.MODE] to [NATURAL]. (P66)
• Improve the ambient light.
In [HIGH SENS.] (P51) in scene mode, the resolution of 
the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high 
sensitivity processing. This is not a malfunction.
The brightness or color 
of the picture differs 
from the actual scene. 
Brightness and colors may change when using a fast shutter 
speed under fl uorescent lights, but this is a characteristic of 
such lighting and is not a malfunction.
Shooting of motion 
pictures stops 
unexpectedly.
This camera is not compatible with motion picture recording 
on MultiMediaCards. 
• When you set the [PICT.MODE] to [30fpsVGA] or 
[30fps16:9], we recommend using cards that offer 10 
MB/second or higher speeds (shown on their packages and 
elsewhere) for best results.
• Depending on the type of SD Memory Card or SDHC 
Memory Card, recording may stop in the middle.
A reddish vertical line 
appears on the LCD 
monitor while the shutter 
button is pressed 
halfway or recording 
motion pictures.
This is a phenomenon called smear. It 
is a characteristic of CCD and appears 
when the subject has a bright part.
Black or green vertical lines or horizontal 
irregularities may also appear around 
the smear, but this is not a malfunction. 
It is recorded in motion pictures but is 
not recorded on still pictures.
