may contain noise. This occurs when the ISO
sensitivity increases, and it does not indicate a
malfunction.

Colored circles or
light streaks
appear in the
monitor or
images.
When shooting with backlighting or when a very
strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the frame,
colored circles or light streaks (ghosting) may occur.
Change the position of the light source, or frame
the image so that the light source does not enter
the frame, and try again.
