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. (P58)
– Set [COL.MODE] to [NATURAL].
(P64)
– Take pictures in bright places.
• In [HIGH SENS.] (P46) in scene mode,
the resolution of the recorded picture
decreases slightly because of high
sensitivity processing.
This is not a malfunction.
8: The brightness or the hue of the
recorded picture is different from the
actual scene.
• If recording under fluorescent light, the
brightness or the hue may change
slightly when the shutter speed
becomes fast. This occurs due to the
characteristics of fluorescent light. It is
not a malfunction.
9: A reddish vertical line appears on the
LCD monitor when the shutter button
is pressed halfway or when recording
motion pictures.
• This is a phenomenon
called smear. It is a
characteristic of CCD
and appears when the
subject has a bright
part. Black or green
vertical lines may also appear or
uneven colours may appear around the
smear. This is not a malfunction. It is
recorded in motion pictures but is not
recorded on still pictures.
10: 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.

brighter for a moment.
