• Is the subject focused?
> [FOCUS PRIORITY] is set to [ON] at the time of purchase, and so you cannot take pictures
until the subject is in focus. If you want to be able to take a picture when you press the
shutter button fully even if the subject is not focused, set [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the
[CUSTOM] menu to [OFF]. (P144)
• You may not be able to record for a short while after turning the power [ON] when using a large
capacity card.
• Picture might look whitish when lens or image sensor gets dirty with finger print or similar.
> If the lens is dirty turn the camera off and then gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry
cloth.
> Refer to P197 when the image sensor gets dirty.
> Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P78)
• Is the AE Lock (P105) applied incorrectly?
> Unset the settings of White Balance Bracket (P97).

• There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly. (P77)
• Is [FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM] menu set to [OFF]? (P144)
In this case, the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in [FOCUS MODE]
is set.
• Is the AF Lock (P105) applied incorrectly?
• The shutter speed will become slower and the Optical Image Stabilizer function may not work
properly when taking pictures especially in dark places.
> We recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures. (P35)
> We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P83) when taking pictures with a slow
shutter speed.
