To ensure that remaining battery capacity is displayed correctly,
use the battery completely from a fully-charged state, and
charge the battery again. (Remaining battery capacity may still
not be displayed correctly if the battery has been used for long
periods in high or low temperatures, or if the battery has been
recharged a large number of times.)

"LOCK" position? The card cannot be recorded to if the switch

Alternatively, are the cards of a format that is incompatible with

• Is your SD Memory Card compatible with use for video

misalignment. If the misalignment cannot be reduced to the
specified value even if adjusted with the 3D FINE function,
consult your dealer.
• The focus may have been misaligned by shock applied to
the camera. Turn the power off then on again. If the focus
misalignment persists, consult your dealer.
