FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. DC-GX9 has been tested and found to comply with IC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets
RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Q&A
Troubleshooting
• Performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve the issue.
• Further information is provided in the “Owner’s manual for advanced features
(PDF format)”. Check it together with the information in this section.
When I shake the camera, I hear a rattling sound.
• The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabilizer. This is not a malfunction.
The charging lamp blinks.
• Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place where
ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature conditions also
apply to the battery itself).
• Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.
Camera does not work even if the camera is turned on. Camera switches off
as soon as the camera is turned on.
• Battery needs recharging.
→ Charge the battery. (→21)
The battery runs down quickly.
• When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) or [Pre-Burst Recording] is set, the battery drains faster and the
camera temperature rises.
→ Select [
] ([4K Pre-Burst]) or [Pre-Burst Recording] only when recording.
Some pictures are taken when I press the shutter button just once.
• Drive Mode is set to other than [Single]. (→46)
• Bracket recording is set. (→47)
Focus not aligned correctly.
• Subject outside of focus range.
• [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [RELEASE]. (→59)
• [Shutter AF] is set to [OFF]. (→59)
• AF Lock is set inappropriately.
Recorded pictures are blurred. The stabilizer function ineffective.
• Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and the stabilizer function is less effective.
→ Use a tripod and the self-timer (→46) when using a slower shutter speed.

Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting
and LED lighting fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is
not a malfunction.
• If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be reduced by
setting a slower shutter speed.
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting
fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting
up [Flkr Decrease] (→58) and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed
from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative
Video Mode. (→29)
Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.
• When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed
may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics
of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
• When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting,
LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting etc., the colors and screen brightness may
change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
Subject appears skewed in pictures.
• If you take a picture of a moving subject in the electronic shutter mode, motion picture
recording mode, or 4K photo recording mode, the subject in the picture may be skewed
in some cases. This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup
sensors. This is not a malfunction.
4K photo recording stops before finishing.
• When the ambient temperature is high or recording of the 4K Photo function is performed
continuously, the camera may display [
] and stop the recording. Wait until the camera
cools down.
Cannot record motion pictures.
• When a large capacity card is used, you may not be able to take a picture for a while after
you turn on the camera.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
• When the ambient temperature is high or motion picture is recorded continuously, the camera
may display [
] and stop the recording. Wait until the camera cools down.
Sometimes focus adjustment with Auto Focus mode is difficult while
recording 4K motion pictures.
• This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the Auto Focus speed in order to adjust the
focus at high precision. This is not a malfunction.

I am having a problem connecting to my Windows 8 PC. The user name and
password are not recognized.
• Depending on the OS version, on Windows 8, for example, there are two types of user
account (local account/Microsoft account).
→ Be sure to set the local account and use the user name and password for the local
account.
The Wi-Fi connection is not recognizing my PC.
The camera cannot be connected to Mac computer/Windows PC via Wi-Fi
connection.
• By default, the Wi-Fi connection uses the default workgroup name of “WORKGROUP”. If the
name of the workgroup has been changed, it will not be recognized.
→ Select [PC Connection] in the [Wi-Fi Setup] to change the workgroup name to match that
of your PC.
• Please confirm login name and password are correctly typed.
• When the system time of a computer connected to a camera differs severely from that of the
camera, the camera cannot be connected to the computer in some OSs.
→ Please confirm clock set and world time of the camera matches with time, date and time
zone in the computer. When both settings do not match severely, please match them.
It takes time to transmit an image to the WEB service.
Transmission of the image fails midway. There is an image that could not be
transmitted.
• Is the size of the image too large?
→ Transmit after dividing the motion picture with [Video Divide] (→60).
→ Reduce the image size at [Size], and then send.
• It may take longer time to transmit when distance to the wireless access point is far.
→ Transmit closer to the wireless access point.
• File format of the picture that can be sent differs depending on the destination.
The lens makes a clicking noise.
• When the camera is turned on or off, the lens is moved, or an aperture operation is
performed, such a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
• When the brightness changes after a zooming operation or moving the camera, the lens may
make a noise while adjusting the aperture. This is not a malfunction.
Camera is hot.
• Camera may become a little warm during use, but this does not affect performance or quality.
Clock is incorrect.
• If you do not use the camera for a long time, the clock may be reset.
→ Reset the clock (→23).
