([Playback Mode]: 525) • Videos recorded with a different [System Frequency] setting cannot be played back. Return the [System Frequency] setting to the one you used during the recording.
Materials – Troubleshooting Monitor/Viewfinder The monitor/viewfinder turns off when the camera is turned on. • If no operations are performed during the set time period, [Auto LVF/Monitor Off] ([Auto LVF/Monitor Off]: 55) is activated, and the monitor/viewfinder turns off. • When an object or your hand is positioned near the eye sensor, the monitor display may switch to the viewfinder display. It may flicker for an instant or the brightness of the screen may change significantly for an instant.
Materials – Troubleshooting Updating of the information display on the screen is sometimes slow. • When using functions that put a burden on processing in the camera, updating of the information display on the screen may get slower, but this is not a malfunction. There will be no change to the images recorded. Functions that put a burden on processing in the camera: – [Rec Quality] with a high frame rate video exceeding a recording frame rate of 60.
Materials – Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Function A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Radio waves get disconnected. Wireless access point is not displayed. General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection • Use within the communication range of the device to be connected. • Usage near devices that utilize the 2.4 GHz frequency such as microwave ovens and cordless telephones may result in the radio wave being lost. Use the camera at a sufficient distance from these devices.
Materials – Troubleshooting Cannot connect with a wireless access point. • The wireless access point information set on the camera is wrong. Check the authentication type and encryption key. (Connecting by Manual Input: 688) • Radio waves from other devices may block the connection to a wireless access point. Check the status of other devices that are connected to the wireless access point as well as the status of other wireless devices. Wi-Fi connection on an iOS device fails.
Materials – Troubleshooting The PC is not recognized when I use a Wi-Fi connection. The camera cannot be connected to the PC using the Wi-Fi function. • At the time of purchase, this camera is set to use a workgroup name of “WORKGROUP”. If you have changed the workgroup name of the PC, this will not be recognized. In the [LAN / Wi-Fi Setup] menu, [PC Connection], change the workgroup name of the PC to which to connect. ([PC Connection]: 697) • Check that the login name and password are correctly typed.
Materials – Troubleshooting TV, PC The TV images are displayed with gray bands. • Depending on the [Aspect Ratio], gray bands may be displayed on the top and bottom or the left and right of the images. You can change the band color in [Background Color(Playback)] in [HDMI Connection] of the [Setup] ([IN/OUT]) menu. ([Background Color(Playback)]: 622) Images cannot be imported even when connected to a PC. • Set the [USB Mode] of the camera to [PC(Storage)]. ([USB Mode]: 620) • Turn the camera off and on.
Materials – Troubleshooting Others [ ] is displayed on the screen. • The fan has stopped. Turn off and on the camera. If the fan does not work after turning the camera off and then on again, consult the dealer. • The temperature of the camera will rise if you continue to use the camera with the fan stopped. Do not use over long periods of time. When the camera is shaken, a rattling sound is heard from the camera. • The sound is caused by the in-body stabilizer. This is not a malfunction.
Materials – Cautions for Use Cautions for Use The Camera Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). • If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation. • Do not use this unit near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and/or sound.
