Recording
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. (→59)
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent
or LED lighting fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce
the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease] (→179) and fixing the
shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60],
[1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative
Video Mode. (→77)
Cannot record pictures. The shutter will not operate immediately when the shutter button is
pressed.
• When [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [FOCUS], the camera will not record until proper focusing is
achieved. (→184)

→ Turn the camera on to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.

• Subject outside of focus range.
• [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [RELEASE]. (→184)
• [Shutter AF] is set to [OFF]. (→182)
• AF Lock (→99) is set inappropriately.
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on the lens, the focus may be set to the lens and not the subject.
Recorded pictures are blurred. The stabilizer function ineffective.
• Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and the stabilizer function is less effective.
→ Use a tripod and the self-timer (→126) when using a slower shutter speed.
