Others Q&A Troubleshooting • Performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve the issue. • Further information is provided in the “Operating Instructions for advanced features (PDF format)”. Check it together with the information in this section. When I shake the camera, I hear a rattling sound. • The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabiliser. This is not a malfunction. The charging lamp blinks. • Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
Others Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting fixture. • This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction. • If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be reduced by setting a slower shutter speed.
Others No flash emitted. • The flash becomes unavailable in the following cases. – The flash is closed. – Flash set to [ ] (Forced Flash Off). • Set [Shutter Type] to [AUTO] or [MSHTR]. (→55) • Set [Silent Mode] to [OFF].
