Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore
the camera from sleep mode before taking a

it automatically turns off. Press the n button
to turn the camera on.
● Press the q button to switch to the shooting
mode.
● Wait until #(fl ash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.
Monitor Monitor

● Condensation may have occurred. Turn off the
power, and wait for the camera body to become
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry
out before taking pictures.
“Vertical lines appear on the monitor”.
● This condition may occur when the camera is
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear
sky and so on.
The lines may appear on the recorded picture or
movie with sequential shots.
“The light is caught in the picture”.
● Shooting with fl ash in dark situations results in an
image with many fl ash refl ections on dust in the air.
Date and time function Date and time function
“Date and time settings return to the default setting”.
● If the batteries are removed and left out of the
camera for about 1 days
*1 , the date and time settings
return to the default setting, and must be reset.
*1 The time until the date and time settings return to
the default setting varies depending on how long
the batteries have been loaded.
“Turning on the camera and making the initial
settings” (p. 7)
Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
“The camera makes a noise when taking pictures”.
● The camera may activate the lens and make a
noise even if no operation is performed. This
is because the camera automatically performs
actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.
