• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. It appears
when the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
• It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight
or any other source of strong light.
• This could be an inactive pixel. Perform the [PIXEL REFRESH] (P131) in the [CUSTOM
MENU].
• Are you in Exposure Compensation operation?
> Press the rear dial to switch to Exposure Compensation operation. (P66)

surrounding colour. (P73)
• It is recommended to use a card with SD Speed Class
¢
with “Class 6” or higher when recording
motion pictures.
¢ SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.
• Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
> When you set the picture quality to [ ], [ ] or [ ], we recommend using a
high-speed card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package.
> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “10MB/s” or if you use a
card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower.
In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P38)
the card in this unit.
• Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this
is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
• If there is marked flicker or striping when recording motion pictures in regions with a 60 Hz
mains supply, set the Flicker Reduction Function (P106) to [ON]. The Flicker Reduction
Function will then activate, automatically adjusting the shutter speed to 1/120.
Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.
Bright spot not in subject is recorded.
You cannot compensate the exposure.
Subject cannot be locked.
(AF tracking not possible)
