w Recording
1: The picture cannot be recorded.

• Is the card inserted?
• Is the mode dial correctly set?
• Is there any memory remaining on the

card?
– Before recording, delete some

pictures. (P33)

2: The recorded picture is whitish.

The lens is dirty.
• The picture can become whitish if there

is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. If the
lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject
the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe
the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.

3: The recorded picture is too bright or

dark.
• Check that the exposure is correctly

compensated. (P44)

4: 2 or 3 pictures are taken at one time.

• Is auto bracket (P45) or burst mode

set? (P47)

5: The subject is not focused properly.

• The focus range varies depending on

the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set the proper
mode for the distance to the subject.

• Is the subject beyond the focus range of

the camera? (P25)

• Have you taken a picture with jitter?

6: The recorded picture is blurred. The

optical image stabilizer is not
effective.
• The shutter speed will become slower

and the optical image stabilizer function
may not work properly when taking
pictures especially in dark places. In
this case, we recommend holding the
camera firmly with both hands when
taking pictures. (P24) When
[SLOW SHUTTER] (P78) is set, we
recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P43) when taking pictures.

7: The recorded picture looks rough.

Noise appears on the picture.
• Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter

speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when
the camera is shipped. Therefore, when
taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO
sensitivity increases.)
– Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P73)
– Set [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P79)
– Take pictures in bright places.

• In [HIGH SENS.] (P55) in scene mode,

the resolution of the recorded picture
decreases slightly because of high
sensitivity processing.
This is not a malfunction.

8: Motion picture recording stops in the

middle.
• Are you using a MultiMediaCard?

– This unit does not support

MultiMediaCards.

• When you set the picture quality to

[30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], we
recommend using a high speed SD
Memory Card with “10MB/s” or greater
displayed on the package.

• Depending on the type of SD Memory

Card or SDHC Memory Card, recording
may stop in the middle.

9: A vertical line appears on the LCD

monitor while recording motion
pictures.
• This is a phenomenon called smear. It

is a characteristic of CCD and appears
when the subject has a bright part.
Uneven colors may also appear around
the smear. This is not a malfunction. It
is recorded in motion pictures but is not
recorded on still pictures.
