The battery went 
dead while I was 
shooting with the 
self-timer.
The battery may be fully discharged. If so, recharge the battery 
(page 13).
Images displayed 
on the LCD 
monitor are 
slightly out of 
focus.
The adapter selector setting may be wrong. Use the correct 
setting for the recording mode (page 41).
There is noise in 
the image.
The camera automatically increases its sensitivity when the 
subject is dark, which may generate noise. Use a light or similar 
means to make the shot brighter.
Photographed 
images are not 
saved.
1) If the battery ran flat before recording was completed, the 
image is not saved. If the battery level indicator is  , 
immediately charge the battery (page 15).
2) If the memory card was removed before recording was 
completed, the image is not saved. Do not remove the memory 
card until recording is completed.
The image goes 
out of focus during 
video shooting.
1) The adapter selector setting may be wrong. Use the correct 
setting for the recording mode (page 41).
2) The lens may be dirty. If so, clean it (page 68).
I can’t stop the 
camera shooting 
video.
An electrostatic discharge or similar event may be preventing the 
monitor screen from changing and stopping you from ending 
video shooting. Disconnect the AC adapter cable or reload the 
battery to switch the camera off and then on again.
The camera 
suddenly stops 
shooting video for 
no reason.
Protective action may have been triggered because the camera 
exceeded a set temperature. Let the camera cool down before 
using it again.
I can’t change the 
function settings. 
The setting 
options are not 
displayed.
Some setting options are not available in some recording modes.
Playback
Images are not 
displayed.
If you used a memory card containing images shot on another 
camera that is not compliant with the DCF standard, the images 
are in a different file management format and cannot be played 
back.
