Others
• This unit automatically adjusts the aperture during motion picture recording. A clicking sound
may occur at this time depending on the lens, and this sound may be recorded on the motion
pictures. This is not a malfunction.
• With certain lenses, the sound of the Auto Focus Operation is recorded when recording motion
pictures. In this case, we recommend setting [CONTINUOUS AF] (P100, 105) to [OFF].
•
Operating sounds may be recorded when the zoom or buttons are operated etc. while recording
motion pictures. Also, the operating sound of the dial may be recorded when the rear dial is operated.
• Depending on the lens used, picture may be warped slightly or you may see colours along the
edge depending on the zoom factor, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals
of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is
used. This is not a malfunction.
• Is the flash closed?
> Press the [ OPEN] button to open the flash. (P61)
•
The flash is activated 2 times. The interval between the first and second flash is longer when
Red-eye Reduction (P62) is set so the subject should not move until the second flash is activated.
• The LCD monitor turns off when [AUTO LCD OFF] (P34) is selected for the [ECONOMY] mode.
[This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (P168).]
If the remaining battery power is low, it may take longer for the flash to be charged, and the
time during which the LCD monitor is turned off may become longer.
>
Adjust the brightness of the LCD monitor/Optional External Viewfinder to a proper level. (P35)
• [POWER LCD] is activated. (P35)
• This occurs due to the aperture of the lens changing when the shutter button is pressed
half-way, or when the brightness of the subject changes. This is not a malfunction.
• This may occur more often when a bright lens, such as the 20 mm/F1.7 interchangeable lens
included with the DMC-GF1C, is used for recording in brightly lit outdoor environments.
A clicking sound or the sound of the auto focus operation is recorded in motion
pictures.
