7-2 Troubleshooting
Settings have been reset.
Settings adjusted in custom modes (modes C1–C4) will be reset to saved values when another
shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.
Pictures look “washed out”.
This may occur in pictures of subjects that are back-lit or partially back-lit. It is the result of
phenomena known as “fl are” and “ghosting”. Keep bright light sources out of the frame as much
as possible. Flare may occur even when the frame does not contain a light source. Use a lens
hood to prevent light from bright sources entering the lens. If this does not have the desired
effect, try shading the lens with your hand or other objects. g “Interchangeable Lenses”
(P. 42)
Bright spots appear in pictures.
The image sensor may contain defective pixels. Use [Pixel Mapping]. If this does not solve the
problem, try repeating the process several more times. g “Image Processing Check (Pixel
Mapping)” (P. 633)
Some menu items are unavailable.
You may be unable to select certain menu items using the arrow pad if they:
• are unavailable in the current mode or
• have been disabled due to the combination of settings currently selected, as is the case for
example with
mode [T] (P. 151) and [Noise Reduct.] (P. 533).
The subject appears distorted.
The camera uses an electronic shutter:
during movie recording (P. 294), in silent (P. 163), Pro Capture (P. 168), and High Res
Shot modes (P. 210), during focus bracketing (P. 239) and focus stacking (P. 243), and
with the live ND fi lter (P. 197).
Distortion may occur if the subject or camera moves quickly during shooting. Avoid moving the
camera during shooting or choose a mode that does not require the electronic shutter.
Banding appears in pictures.
Flicker caused by fl uorescent or LED lamps and certain other forms of artifi cial lighting be visible
in pictures taking using features that employ the electronic shutter, namely:
movie recording (P. 294), silent mode (P. 163), Pro Capture (P. 168), High Res Shot
(P. 210), focus bracketing (P. 239), focus stacking (P. 243), and the live ND fi lter
(P. 197).
Flicker can be reduced by choosing slower shutter speeds. You can also reduce fl icker using
fl icker scan. g [K Flicker Scan] (P. 193), [n Flicker Scan] (P. 374)
