• The camera may move slightly when operated, even if it is attached to a tripod,
which may interfere with the autofocus.
Colored stripes appear on the screen when shooting.
Colored stripes may appear when shooting subjects with repeating patterns (such as
window blinds); this is not a malfunction.
The colored stripes will not appear in captured images or recorded movies. However,
when using [
Continuous H: 120 fps
] or [
HS 480/4×
], the colored stripes may be
seen in the captured images and recorded movies.
Images are blurred.
• Use the flash.
• Use the vibration reduction feature. You can also use [
Electronic VR
] when
recording movies.
Electronic VR (page 207), Vibration reduction (page 234)
• Use a tripod to stabilize the camera (using the self-timer setting of [
10s
] (10
seconds) at the same time is more effective).
