Miscellaneous
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s
pickup sensors. It appears when the subject has a bright part. Some
unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not a
malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
• It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
• Use a card with SD Speed Class
¢
with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures in
[AVCHD].
Also, use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 6” or higher when recording motion pictures
in [MOTION JPEG].
¢ SD Speed Class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a
card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower.
In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P39)
the card in the camera.
• Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this
is because the camera is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
• Set the AF area to the distinctive color of the subject if there is a part that is different from the
surrounding color. (P140)
• It is possible that the subject may be warped slightly, or the borders get colored, depending on
the zoom magnification, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals of the
image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is used.
This is not a malfunction.
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
Object seems to be warped.
Subject cannot be locked.
(AF tracking not possible)
Lens
Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent color is surrounding the
subject.
