The monitor is
blank.

The camera is connected to a computer.

Time-lapse movie shooting is in progress.

The camera
becomes hot.

The camera may become hot when used for an extended
period of time such as to shoot movies, or when used in a hot
environment; this is not a malfunction.

Images are
blurred or out of
focus.

If Movie VR is set to On when recording movies, change

it to On (hybrid).

Vibration reduction or autofocus may not work properly,

due to unexpected vibration from wind or the
surroundings, even when the camera is stabilized using a
tripod, etc.

Vibration reduction or autofocus may not work properly if

the direction of the camera is significantly changed during
panning shots, etc.

Images of moving
subjects or
images captured
while moving are
skewed or
partially distorted.

This is the rolling shutter effect that may occur when a CMOS
electronic shutter is used for shooting. Shooting using 4:3
(2M)
, 16:9 (2M), or 1:1 (2M) will reduce the effect.
