Troubleshooting
The image is out of focus.
• The subject is too close. Make sure to position the lens farther away from the subject than the
shortest shooting distance, approximately 4 cm (1 5/8 inches) (W)/50 cm (1 feet 7 3/4 inches)
(T), when shooting (page 24).
• (Twilight) mode, (Landscape) mode or (Fireworks) mode is selected in the Scene
Selection mode when shooting still images.
• The Semi manual function is selected. Select the auto focus mode (page 49).
• Confirm that the [Conversion Lens] setting is correct (page 77).
• Refer to “If the subject is out of focus” on page 50.
Zoom does not work.
• You cannot use the Smart zoom depending on the image size (page 76).
• You cannot use the Digital Zoom when shooting movies.
• You cannot change the zoom scale when:
– The Smile Shutter is in standby (page 30).
– While shooting movies.
• Confirm that the [Conversion Lens] setting is correct (page 77).
The flash does not work.
• The flash is set to (Flash forced off) (page 25).
• You cannot use the flash when:
– [REC Mode] is set to [Burst] or Exposure Bracket (page 44).
– (High Sensitivity) mode, (Twilight) mode or (Fireworks) mode is selected in the
Scene Selection mode (page 29).
– Shooting movies.
• Set the flash to (Flash forced on) when (Landscape) mode, (Gourmet) mode,
(Beach) mode, (Snow) mode or (Underwater) mode is selected in the Scene Selection
mode (page 25).
Fuzzy white circular spots appear in images shot using the flash.
• Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared in the image. This
is not a malfunction (page 13).
The close-up shoot function (Macro) does not work.
• (Landscape) mode, (Twilight) mode or (Fireworks) mode is selected in the Scene
Selection mode (page 29).
Macro shooting cannot be turned off.
• There is no function for forcibly turning off macro shooting. In [Auto] mode, telephoto
shooting is possible even in the macro shooting condition.
