- 85 - VQT4W38Q&A TroubleshootingRecording (continued)Recorded pictures are blurred.●Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and a picture is prone to blurring.→ Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body.→ Set [Sensitivity] to [ ] and [Digital Zoom] to [OFF]. (→57, 60)Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.●ISO Sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low.(Default [Sensitivity] setting is [ ] – interference may appear with indoor pictures.)→ Lower [Sensitivity] (→57).→ Take pictures in brighter locations.●Camera set to [High Sens.] Scene mode.(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.●When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed mayintroduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the lightsource and do not indicate a malfunction.Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entirescreen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutterbutton halfway.●This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighterareas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. Thiswill be recorded in panorama pictures or motion pictures but not in still pictures.●We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such assunlight when taking pictures.Motion picture recording stops midway.●With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.●If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→17), the data writingspeed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card andformatting it (→41).Panorama picture recording stops before finishing.●If the pan motion of the camera is too slow, the camera assumes that the operation has beenaborted and stops recording.●If the pan motion of the camera is too shaky when it is moved toward the recording direction, thecamera stops recording.→ To record panorama pictures, pan the camera in a small semi-circular motion parallel to therecording direction at a speed of approx. 4 seconds per stroke (suggested).The beep volume is low.●The speaker is blocked.
