Troubleshooting
• In autofocus mode, the shutter cannot be released when the subject is out of
focus.
• The lens is not attached properly. Attach the lens properly (page 55).
• When the camera is attached to another device, such as an astronomical
telescope, set [Release w/o Lens] to [Enable] (page 175).
• The subject may require special focusing (page 93). Use the focus-lock or
manual focus function (pages 94, 101).
Recording takes a long time.
• The noise reduction function is turned on (page 150). This is not a
malfunction.
• You are shooting in RAW mode (page 139). Since the RAW data file is
large, the RAW mode shooting may take time.
• The Auto HDR is processing an image (page 127).
The same image is shot several times.
• The drive mode is set to [Cont. Shooting] or [Bracket: Cont.]. Set it to
[Single Shooting] (page 110).
• The exposure mode is set to Tele-zoom Continuous Priority AE (page 76).
• The exposure mode is set to Superior Auto and [S. Auto Image Extract.] is
set to [Off] (page 70).
The image is out of focus.
• The subject is too close. Check the minimum focal distance of the lens.
• You are shooting in manual focus mode. Set [Focus Mode] to other than
[DMF], [Manual Focus] (page 91).
• When the focus mode switch is equipped with the lens, set it to AF.
• Ambient light is insufficient.
Eye-Start AF does not work.
• Set [Eye-Start AF] to [On] (page 40).
• Press the shutter button halfway down.
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 58).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set
up [Area Setting] again (page 58).
