Troubleshooting
Saving images takes time.
It may take more time to save images in the following situations:
•
When the noise reduction function is in operation
• When capturing images in the following scene modes:
- [Noise reduction burst] in [Landscape] or [Close-up]
- [Hand-held] in [Night landscape]
- [HDR] is set to [On] in [Backlighting]
- [Easy panorama]
• When using the Bulb setting or Time setting to capture images with a long time-
exposure
• When the shooting menu
[C
ontinuous] is set to [Continuous H], [Pre-
shooting cache], [Continuous H: 120 fps], or [Continuous H: 60 fps]
• When using [Smile timer] while shooting
• When using Active D-Lighting while shooting
• When using multiple exposure while shooting
• When [Image quality] is set to [RAW], [RAW + Fine], or [RAW + Normal]
• When capturing still images while recording a movie with [Movie options] set to
[2160/30p] or [2160/25p]
A ring-shaped belt or rainbow-colored stripe appears on the
screen or images.
When shooting with backlighting or when a very strong light source (such as
sunlight) is in the frame
, a ring-shaped belt or rainbow-colored stripe (ghosting) may
occur. Change the position of the light source, or frame the picture so that the light
source does not enter the frame, and try again.
