Preparations

Before use
■ Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
● Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the
lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body.
This may also cause the camera to malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor
Do not hold the lens barrel as you take pictures. There is a risk that your
finger will be trapped as the lens retracts.
When camera is not in use or when using the playback feature, ensure that
the lens is in the stored position.
There are times when rattling sounds or vibrations will come from the
camera, but these are due to the motion of the aperture, the zoom and the
motor and do not indicate a defect.
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where
water can come into contact with the camera.

■ Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is
fogged up)

● Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of

temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens,
monitor, or viewfinder dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.
● If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before
using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging
will clear naturally.

Q&A

Troubleshooting

• Performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve the issue.
• Further information is provided in the “Operating Instructions for advanced
features (PDF format)”. Check it together with the information in this section.
The charging lamp blinks.
• Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place where
ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature conditions also
apply to the battery itself).
• Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.

The battery runs down quickly.

Subject outside of focus range.
[Focus/Release Priority] is set to [RELEASE]. (→43)
[Shutter AF] is set to [OFF]. (→43)
AF Lock is set inappropriately.
If there are fingerprints or dirt on the lens, the focus may be set to the lens and not the
subject.

Subject appears skewed in pictures.
• If you take a picture of a moving subject in the electronic shutter mode, motion picture
recording mode, or 4K photo recording mode, the subject in the picture may be skewed
in some cases. This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors. This is not a malfunction.

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting
and LED lighting fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is
not a malfunction.
• If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be reduced by
setting a slower shutter speed.
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting
fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting
up [Flkr Decrease] (→42) and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed
from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative
Video Mode. (→20)

4K photo recording stops before finishing.
• When the ambient temperature is high or recording of the 4K Photo function is performed
] and stop the recording. Wait until the camera
continuously, the camera may display [
cools down.

Cannot record motion pictures.
• When a large capacity card is used, you may not be able to take a picture for a while after
you turn on the camera.

Sometimes focus adjustment with auto focus mode is difficult while
recording 4K motion pictures.
• This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the auto focus speed in order to adjust the
focus at high precision. This is not a malfunction.

No flash emitted.
• The flash becomes unavailable in the following cases.
– The flash is closed.
• Set [Shutter Type] to [AUTO] or [MSHTR]. (→42)
• Set [Silent Mode] to [OFF]. (→43)

It cannot connect to the wireless LAN. Radio waves get disconnected.
General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection
• Use within the communication range of the wireless LAN network.
• If any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency
are used nearby this unit simultaneously, radio waves may get interrupted.
→ Use them sufficiently away from the device.
• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not
start or the connection may be disrupted. (A message such as [Communication error] is
displayed.)
• When this unit is placed on a metal table or shelf, the connection may not be established
easily because the camera is affected by radio waves. Use the camera away from metal
surfaces.

The lens makes a clicking noise.
• When the camera is turned on or off, the lens is moved, or an aperture operation is
performed, such a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
• When the brightness changes after a zooming operation or moving the camera, the lens may
make a noise while adjusting the aperture. This is not a malfunction.

Zooming stops instantaneously.
• When using the Extra Optical Zoom, the zooming action will stop temporarily. This is not a
malfunction.
