White round spots like soap bubbles appear on the recorded picture.
●
If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white round
spots may appear on the picture caused by the flash reflecting particles of
dust in the air. This is not a fault. A characteristic of this is that the number
of round spots and their position differ in every picture.
[Thumbnail is displayed] is shown on the screen.
●
The still pictures may have been recorded with another device. If so, they may be
displayed with poor picture quality.

●
When digital red-eye correction ( , , ) is operating, if a subject is recorded that

blacken the red areas.

[OFF] before recording.
