  • Turn the camera off frequently by using the [Economy] etc.

The battery becomes flat too quickly.

  • Is the drive mode set to 4K Photo and [4K PHOTO] set to [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst])? When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is selected, the battery drains faster.
  • Select [  ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.

Taking pictures is not possible. The shutter will not operate immediately when the shutter button is pressed.

  • When the drive mode is set to 4K Photo and [4K PHOTO] in the [Rec] menu is set to [] ([4K Pre-Burst]), the camera temperature rises. In some cases, the camera may display [], switch to [ ] ([4K Burst]) and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

The subject is not focused properly.

  • The subject is beyond the focus range of the camera.
  • There is a camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly.
  • Is [Focus/Release Priority] in the [Custom] menu set to [RELEASE]?
  • Is [Shutter AF] in the [Custom] menu set to [OFF]?
  • Is the AF Lock applied incorrectly?

The recorded picture is blurred. The Optical Image Stabilizer is not effective.
