• Recording can also be ended by moving the camera to the end of the guide.

∫ Technique for Panorama Shot Mode

Swivel the camera around its centre when moving it in the recording direction. Hold the camera with both hands, taking care not to shake it.

• When the focal length is long, such as when a telephoto lens is attached, move the camera slowly.

• If the camera shakes too much, pictures may not be able to be recorded, or the recorded panorama picture may become narrower (smaller).

• Move the camera towards the edge of the range you wish to record. (The edge of the range will not be recorded in the last frame.)

• If you change the facial expression or blink, the recorded picture may look unnatural. Try to stay still.

• We recommend setting the zoom position to Wide when using Self Shot Mode.

• Since the distance between the camera and subject is close when you take panorama pictures in Self Shot Mode, the edges of the pictures may appear significantly distorted.

Troubleshooting

First, try out the following procedures.

If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] on the [Setup] menu.

• Please also refer to the “Operating Instructions for advanced features (PDF format)”, which describes more detailed information.

The camera cannot be operated even when it is turned on. The camera turns off immediately after it is turned on.

• The battery is exhausted. > Charge the battery. (P15)

The charging lamp blinks.

• This phenomenon occurs when charging in a location where the temperature is very high or very low. > Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) in a location where the ambient

temperature (and the temperature of battery) is in a 10 oC to 30 oC (50 oF to 86 oF) range, and try charging again.

• If your PC is not capable of supplying sufficient power, charging is not possible.

The battery becomes flat too quickly.

• When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is selected, the battery drains faster. > Select [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.

This unit suddenly turns off during recording.

• The camera stops operating for self-protection in the manner described below when overheated due to, for example, high ambient temperature or continuous 4K photo or motion picture recording. Wait until the camera cools down. > Continuous recording, motion picture recording, and the Wi-Fi connection will be

temporarily disabled.

> If you continue recording even when [ ] is flashing on the screen, a message will

be displayed and the camera will turn off automatically.

DVQX1929 (ENG)

Page 69

Others

The subject is not focused properly.

• The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.

• Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?

• Is [Shutter AF] in the [Custom] menu set to [OFF]?

• Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?

The recorded picture is blurred. The Image Stabiliser is not effective.

• The shutter speed will become slower and the Image Stabiliser function may not work properly when taking pictures especially in dark places. > We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer when taking pictures with a slow

shutter speed.

The subject appears distorted on the picture.

• If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion picture or a 4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the picture. 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.

• When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.

• If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture when recording motion pictures, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease] and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120].

The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.

• When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.

• When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the colours and screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.

Multiple pictures are taken at one time.

• Is the drive mode set to a mode other than [Single]? (P44)

• Are you using the bracket function? (P45)

Sometimes it is difficult to focus with Auto Focus when recording 4K motion pictures.

• This phenomenon occurs when the camera is trying to record with highly accurate focus at a reduced Auto Focus speed, and is not a malfunction.

The flash is not activated.

• When the electronic shutter is used, the flash is not activated.

• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON] , the flash is not activated.

The picture is not played back. There are no recorded pictures.

• Is the card inserted?

• Is this a folder or picture which was processed in the PC? If it is, it cannot be played back by this unit. > It is recommended to use the software “PHOTOfunSTUDIO ” (P64) to write pictures

from PC to card.

• Has [Playback Mode] been set for playback? > Change to [Normal Play].

A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Radio waves get disconnected. Wireless access point is not displayed.

∫ General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection

• Use within the communication range of the device to be connected.

• Is any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency operated nearby? > Radio waves may get interrupted when used simultaneously. 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.)

• If you place the camera on a metal table or shelf, the radio waves may be adversely affected. In such cases, you may not be able to establish a connection. Move the camera away from the metal surface.

∫ About a wireless access point

• Check if the wireless access point to connect is in operating state.

• Check the radio wave condition of the wireless access point.

> Move this unit closer to the wireless access point. > Change the location and orientation of the wireless access point.

• It may not display even if the radio waves exist depending on the setting of the wireless access point.

> Turn off and on the wireless access point. > Check the settings of the wireless access point. > When the network SSID of the wireless access point is set not to broadcast, the

wireless access point may not be detected. Enter the network SSID to start the connection or enable the SSID broadcast of the wireless access point.

When I try to set up a Wi-Fi connection with a Windows 8 PC, my user name and password are not recognised, so I cannot connect to the PC.

• Some OS versions, including Windows 8, use two types of accounts: a local account and a Microsoft account. > Be sure to use the user name and password for the local account.

If you haven’t set up a local account, please create one.

The PC is not recognised when I use a Wi-Fi connection. The camera cannot be connected to PC via Wi-Fi connection.

• The default workgroup name is set to “WORKGROUP”. If you changed the workgroup name, the PC will not be recognised. In [Change Workgroup Name] in [PC Connection] of the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu, change the workgroup name to that of the PC you are connecting to.

• Please confirm login name and password are correctly typed.

• When the system time of Mac computer or Windows PC connected to a camera differs severely from that of the camera, the camera cannot be connected to the computer or PC in some OSs. > Please confirm [Clock Set] and [World Time] of the camera matches with time, date

and time zone in Windows PC or Mac computer. When both settings do not match severely, please match them.
