temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery
from the camera and wait until the camera
has suffi ciently cooled. The camera’s external
temperature may also increase during use,
however this is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.

Change the display with the u button.
Use the diopter adjustment dial to bring the display

humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”

under a clear sky and so on. The lines do not
appear, however, in the fi nal image.
“The light is caught in the picture”
Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in
