Q&A Troubleshooting
■
Monitor/viewfinder
The monitor/viewfinder is turned off although the camera is turned on.
• If no operations are performed during the set time period [Auto LVF/Monitor Off] (→200) is
activated, and the monitor/viewfinder turns off.
• When a hand or an object is close to the eye sensor, the monitor display mode could be switched
to viewfinder display mode. (→34)
It may flicker for an instant or the brightness of the screen may change significantly for an
instant.
• This occurs due to the aperture of the lens changing when the shutter button is pressed halfway, or
when the brightness of the subject changes. This is not a malfunction.
Cannot switch between the monitor and viewfinder when pressing [LVF] button.
• When you open the monitor, the display automatically switches to monitor display, and the [LVF]
button and eye sensor are disabled.
• When it is connected to a computer or printer, the camera can display pictures on the monitor only.
■
Playback
Cannot view pictures. There are no recorded pictures.
• A card is not inserted in the camera.
• Has the file name of the picture been changed on a computer? If so, it cannot be played back on
the camera.
→ It is recommended to use the “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” software (→268) to write pictures from PC
to card.
• Set [Playback Mode] to [Normal Play]. (→206)
Red areas in pictures appear blackened.
• When the digital red-eye correction ([
], [ ], [ ]) is operating, red areas may be
blackened.
→ We recommend setting the flash mode to [
]/[ ] or [Red-Eye Removal] to [OFF] before
recording. (→178)
