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 particles of dust in the air. This is
not a fault. A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots and their position
differ in every picture.
[Thumbnail is displayed] is shown on the screen.
The pictures may have been recorded on another device. If so, they may be displayed with poor

Blacken red areas of recorded pictures.
When digital red-eye correction ( , ) is operating, if a subject is recorded that has skin-

recording.
Sounds of camera operations such as zoom will be recorded in motion pictures.
Camera operation sounds may be recorded as camera automatically adjusts lens aperture during
motion picture recording; this is not a fault.
Motion pictures taken by this camera cannot be played in other cameras.
When motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD], [MP4] or [High Speed Video] (Motion JPEG) are played
back, they may be displayed with poor picture quality or sound quality or may not be played back at
all even if an AVCHD, MP4 or Motion JPEG compatible device is used. Also, there might be a case
that a recording information does not display correctly.
