13. Others Troubleshooting First, try out the following procedures (P393–P409). If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] (P67) on the [Setup] menu. Battery and power source The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on. The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on. • The battery is exhausted. > Charge the battery. • If you leave the camera on, the battery will be exhausted. > Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc.
13. Others The recorded picture is whitish. • Picture might look whitish when lens or image sensor gets dirty with fingerprints or similar. > If the lens is dirty turn the camera off and then gently wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry cloth. > Refer to P411 when the image sensor gets dirty. The recorded picture is too bright or dark. • Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P157) • Is the AE Lock (P159) applied incorrectly? Multiple pictures are taken at one time.
13. Others The recorded picture is blurred. The Optical Image Stabiliser is not effective. • The shutter speed will become slower and the Optical Image Stabiliser function may not work properly when taking pictures especially in dark places. > We recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures. (P38) > We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P118) when taking pictures with a slow shutter speed. Taking pictures using White Balance Bracket is not possible.
13. Others The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene. • When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction. • When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc.
13. Others Motion picture recording stops in the middle. • Depending on the [Rec Format] and [Rec Quality] of a motion picture, the speed class rating required for the card differs. Use a card that meets the rating. For details, refer to “About the motion picture recording and speed class” on P22. • When a card with a slow data writing speed is used, motion picture recording may stop midway.
13. Others An operation sound is recorded at the end of a motion picture. Since motion picture recording stops only after you press the motion picture button, the sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following: > Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide] (P242) in the [Playback] menu. The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record approximately 3 seconds longer.
13. Others Monitor/Viewfinder The Monitor/Viewfinder turns off although the camera is turned on. • If no operations are performed during the set time period, [Auto LVF/Monitor Off] (P59) 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. (P48) The Monitor/Viewfinder is too bright or dark. • Check [Monitor Luminance] setting. (P63) • Perform [Monitor Display]/[Viewfinder].
13. Others Unevenly bright parts or irregular colours appear on the Monitor/Viewfinder. • Monitor/viewfinder of this unit adopts OLED. Screen burn-in may occur on the screen/ viewfinder when a same image is displayed for a long period of time, but it does not affect the recorded images. > Change the on-screen images frequently by using [Economy] (P59), [Eye Sensor] function (P48), or turning off the screen light (P44). Monitor appears to be coloured when you see it from an angle.
13. Others The folder number and the file number are displayed as [—] and the screen turns black. • Is this a non-standard picture, a picture which has been edited using a PC or a picture which was taken by another make of digital camera? • Did you remove the battery immediately after picture-taking or did you take the picture using a battery with a low remaining charge? > To delete such pictures, make a backup of the data and format the card (P68). Playback sound or operation sound is too low.
13. Others 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. • Is any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency operated nearby? > Radio waves may get interrupted when used simultaneously.

In [Change Workgroup Name] in [PC Connection] of the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu, change the workgroup name to that of the PC you are connecting to. Refer to P302 for details. • Please confirm login name and password are correctly typed.
13. Others I would like to return the image in the web service to the camera. • The images in the web service cannot be saved (downloaded) to this unit. > Do not delete the uploaded images, and make a backup of them. I cannot display or delete the images uploaded to the web service by this unit. • The images uploaded to the web service cannot be displayed or deleted by this unit. > Perform the task using a smartphone/tablet or a PC. Transmission of the image fails midway.
13. Others Cannot be connected using NFC. • Is your smartphone compatible with NFC? > This unit can be used with NFC-compatible terminals via Android (OS version 2.3.3 or higher). • Make sure the NFC function of your smartphone is ON. • Is [NFC Operation] set to [OFF]? (P302) • Some smartphones cannot be easily checked simply by touching. > If the camera is not recognised even after touching, change positions and try again by touching slowly.
13. Others VIERA Link does not work. • Is it connected properly with the HDMI micro cable? (P325) • Is the [VIERA Link] on this unit set to [ON]? (P66) > If the input channel does not switch automatically, use the remote control for the TV to switch it. > Check the VIERA Link setting on the connected device. > Turn this unit off and on. > Set [HDAVI Control] to [Off] on the TV and then turn it back to [On]. (Refer to the operating instructions of the TV for details.) > Check [System Frequency] setting.
13. Others The picture cannot be printed when the camera is connected to a printer. • Pictures cannot be printed using a printer that does not support PictBridge. > Set to [PictBridge(PTP)] in [USB Mode]. (P64, 337) The ends of the pictures are cut at printing. • When using a printer with a Cropping or borderless printing function, cancel this function before printing. (For details, refer to the operating instructions for the printer.
13. Others An unreadable language was selected by mistake. • Press [MENU/SET], select the [Setup] menu icon [ ] and then select the [~] icon to set the desired language. (P67) Part of the picture is flashing in black and white. • This is a highlight function showing the white saturated area. (P310) A red lamp sometimes turns on when the shutter button is pressed halfway. • In dark places, the AF Assist Lamp (P307) lights red to make it easier to focus on a subject. The AF Assist Lamp does not turn on.
13. Others Cautions for Use Optimal use of 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.
13. Others Cleaning Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC coupler (optional), or disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth. • When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth, and then with a dry cloth. • Wipe off any dirt or dust on the zoom ring and the focus ring with a dry, dustless cloth. • Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc.
13. Others ∫ For care of the viewfinder/eye cup • Before you remove stains on the viewfiner and eyecup or start other types of cleaning, remove the eyecup (1). Blow away the dust on the viewfinder surface with a blower (commercially available), and wipe the surface lightly with a dry, soft cloth. Attach the eye cup after the cleaning (2). • Be careful not to lose the eye cup. • Keep the eye cup out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
13. Others About the Monitor/Viewfinder • Do not press the monitor with excessive force. Uneven colours may appear on the monitor and it may malfunction. • If the camera is cold when you turn it on, the picture on the Monitor/Viewfinder will be slightly darker than usual at first. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal temperature of the camera increases. Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the Monitor/ Viewfinder screen.
13. Others Battery The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter. Always remove the battery after use. • Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).
13. Others About 3D ∫ About 3D recording With the 3D interchangeable lens attached, do not record a subject at less than the minimum focus distance. • The 3D effects may be more pronounced, and therefore cause tiredness or discomfort. • When the 3D interchangeable lens (H-FT012: optional) is used, the minimum focus distance is 0.6 m (2.0 feet). When recording with the 3D interchangeable lens attached, be careful not to shake the unit.
13. Others Card Do not leave the card where the temperature is high, where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated or exposed to direct sunlight. Do not bend or drop the card. • The card may be damaged or the recorded content may be damaged or deleted. • Put the card in the card case or the storage bag after use and when storing or carrying the card.
13. Others About the personal information If a name or birthday is set for [Profile Setup]/Face Recognition function, this personal information is kept in the camera and recorded in the image. Setting a Wi-Fi password is recommended to protect personal information. (P303) Disclaimer • Information including personal information may be altered or vanish due to erroneous operation, effect of static electricity, accident, malfunction, repair, or other handlings.
13. Others When not using the camera for a long period of time • Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature: (Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH) • Always remove the battery and the card from the camera. • If the battery is left inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is turned off.
