  Set these settings only when recording.

• When connected to Wi-Fi, the battery drains quickly.
  Turn the camera off frequently such as by using [Power Save Mode].
  The recording stops before finishing.
  Cannot record.
  Cannot use some functions.

• In high ambient temperatures or if the camera is continuously used for High- definition video recording, high-speed burst pictures, HDMI output, etc., the temperature of the camera will rise. If the camera temperature rises, will be displayed blinking on the screen. If you continue to use the camera, a message indicating the camera cannot be used is displayed on the screen, and the recording or HDMI output stops. Wait until the camera cools down.
  The recorded image looks rough.
  Noise appears in the picture.

• When using the camera continuously, the temperature inside of the camera rises and the image quality may deteriorate.
  Turning the camera off except when recording is recommended.
  The subject is not focused properly.

• Confirm the following details:
  – Is the subject outside of the focus range?
  – Is [Shutter AF] set to [OFF]?
  – Is [Focus/Shutter Priority] set to [RELEASE]?

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent or LED lighting.

• 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 flicker or horizontal stripes are noticeable when recording video, this can be mitigated by fixing the shutter speed.
  Either set [Flicker Decrease (Video)], or fix the shutter speed with the [ ] mode.
  The brightness or coloring of the recorded image is different from the actual scene.

• When recording under lighting such as fluorescent or LED lighting, increasing the shutter speed may introduce slight changes to brightness or coloring.
  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 lighting such as fluorescent, LED, mercury, or sodium lighting, the coloring or screen brightness may change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
  The flash does not fire.

• The flash does not fire when using the following functions:
  – Video recording/[6K/4K PHOTO]/[Post-Focus] – [ELEC.]/[Silent Mode] – [Filter Settings] When the camera is shaken, a rattling sound is heard from the camera.

• The sound is caused by the in-body stabilizer. This is not a malfunction.
