and then activated again for the actual 
recording.
∫ Playback
1: The picture being played back is 
rotated and displayed in an 
unexpected direction.
The camera has a function that 
automatically rotates the display of 
pictures recorded holding the camera 
vertically. (If you take pictures when 
aiming the camera up or down, the 
camera may recognize that it is being 
held vertically.)
• You can display the pictures without 
being rotated when [ROTATE DISP.] 
(P81) is set to [OFF].
• You can rotate pictures with the 
[ROTATE] function. (P81)

or the card?

appears when a card is not inserted. 
The picture data on the card appears 
when a card is inserted. (P14)
3: The folder number and the file 
number are displayed as [—] and the 
screen turns black.
• Is the picture edited with a PC or 
recorded with a digital camera from 
another manufacturer?
This may also happen if the battery is 
removed immediately after recording or 
if recording with a exhausted battery.
– Format the data to delete the pictures 
mentioned above. (P91) (Formatting 
irretrievably deletes all data including 
the other pictures. Check the data 
carefully before formatting.)
4: 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. 
(P71)
• Is the clock in the camera set properly? 
(P15)
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.
5: 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.
