Pictures are too dark
(underexposed).
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.

(overexposed).
Adjust exposure compensation.
Unexpected results when flash
set to V (auto with red-eye
reduction).
If taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-
eye reduction when scene mode is set to e
Night portrait, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be
applied to areas not affected by red-eye. Use any
other scene mode other than e Night
portrait, and change the flash to any other
settings other than V (auto with red-eye
reduction) and try shooting again.
