Troubleshooting

It is not a malfunction in following cases
Object seems to be warped.
When the flash is fired during shooting, only the top or bottom of the screen becomes lighter.
Object seems to be warped slightly when the object
moves across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
With a MOS image sensor, the shooting timing differs
slightly between the top left and bottom right of the screen. This means that when the flash is fired, the bottom of the screen will become lighter in the field concerned and the top will become lighter in the next field. This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
