• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is
left without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be canceled more quickly

Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This is
due to a phenomenon called fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a light
source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens from the light
source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the lens from the light.
g “Interchangeable lenses” (P. 212)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g “Pixel Mapping - Checking the
image processing functions” (P. 223)
