Streaks of light or partial
discoloration are visible in
the monitor.
Smear occurs when extremely bright light strikes the
image sensor. When shooting with Continuous set
to Multi-shot 16 and when recording movies,
avoiding bright objects, such as the sun, reflections of
the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
