Troubleshooting

Autofocus is not working correctly.

Make sure the lens is properly attached, select the correct AF mode for the shooting situation, and ensure the subject is within the focusing range.

Video recording stops unexpectedly.

Ensure you have enough space on the memory card. The camera might also stop recording if the internal temperature gets too high.
