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. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P83)
> Take pictures in bright places.
Have you set [High Sens.] in Scene Mode, or [Burst] in [Rec] menu to [ ] or [ ]? If so, the
resolution of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this
is not a malfunction.
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED
lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting etc., the colours and screen brightness may change or
horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
Use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures.
Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a card
that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower. In such
cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P54) the card in this
unit.
The recorded picture looks rough. Noise appears on the picture.
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED
lighting fixture.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors. It appears when the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness
may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in still pictures or motion pictures.
It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to expose
the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
