Troubleshooting
The image is too bright.
• Adjust the exposure (page 52).
The image colors are not correct.
• Set [Color Mode] to [Normal] (page 60).
Vertical streaks appear when you are shooting a very bright subject.
• The smear phenomenon is occurring and white, black, red, purple, or other streaks appear on
the image. This phenomenon is not a malfunction.
Noise appears in the image when you view the screen in a dark place.
• The camera is attempting to increase the visibility of the screen by temporarily brightening
the image under conditions of low illumination. There is no effect on the recorded image.
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Set [Red Eye Reduction] to [On] (page 59).
• Shoot the subject at a distance closer than the flash range using the flash.
• Light the room and shoot the subject.
• Retouch the image using [Red Eye Correction] (page 66).
Dots appear and remain on the screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 2).
The image seen through the finder does not match with the actual recordable
range.
• The parallax phenomenon is occurring when the subject is close. In this case, to confirm the
recordable range, use the LCD screen.
• Images cannot be confirmed through the finder while the digital zoom is in use.
Cannot shoot images in succession.
• The internal memory or “Memory Stick Duo” is full. Delete unnecessary images (page 39).
• The battery level is low. Insert the charged battery pack.
The same image is shot several times.
• [REC Mode] is set to [Burst]. Or, [Scene Recognition] is set to [Advanced] (pages 50, 51).
