Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem Possible Causes and Action
Though available lighting is bright, the faces of people in the image are dark. Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash mode setting to " " (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 72), or use adjust EV shift to the + side (page 114).
Subjects are too bright when shooting images in a seashore or ski area. Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to "" (Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 72), or use adjust EV shift to the + side (page 114).
Digital zoom does not work.
The zoom bar indicates zoom only up to a zoom factor of 3.0.		 1) The digital zoom setting may be turned off. Turn on digital zoom (page 71).
2) Time stamping may be turned on, which will cause digital zoom to be disabled. Turn off time stamping (page 125).
The image is out of focus during movie recording. 1) Focusing is not possible because the subject is outside the focus range. Shoot within the allowable range.
2) The subject you are shooting may be difficult to focus (page 68).
3) The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 33).
Playback
The color of the playback image is different from what appears on the monitor screen when shooting.		 Sunlight or light from another source may be shining directly into the lens when you are shooting. Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.
Images are not displayed. This camera cannot display non-DCF images recorded onto a memory card using another digital camera.
I can't edit images (Layout Print, resizing, trimming, keystone correction, color restoration, rotation, white balance, date/time editing). Note that you cannot edit the following types of imagess.
  • Images created with MOTION PRINT

I can't transfer images over a USB connection. 1) The USB cable may not be connected securely. Check all connections.
2) USB driver may not be installed. Install the USB driver (page 203).

Display language setting screen appears when the camera is turned on. 1) You did not configure initial settings after purchasing the camera or the battery may have been left with a dead battery. Check the camera setup (pages 11, 185).
2) There may be a problem with the camera's built-in memory management area. If this is the case, perform the reset operation to initialize the camera's setup (page 133). After that, configure each setting. If the language selection screen does not re-appear when you turn the camera on, it means that the camera's built-in memory management area has been restored.
