Randomly spaced bright
pixels (“noise”) appear in
image.
The subject is dark, and the shutter speed is too slow
or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by
using the flash.
Images are too dark
(underexposed).
• The flash mode is set to W (off).
• The flash window is blocked.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• The subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene
mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).
Images are too bright
(overexposed).
Adjust exposure compensation.
Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), or when taking images using fill flash with
slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait
(either in easy auto mode or in scene mode), In-Camera
Red Eye Fix may be applied to areas not affected by
red-eye in rare cases. Use auto mode or any scene
mode other than Night portrait, and change the flash
mode to any setting other than V (auto with red-eye
reduction) and try taking an image again.
Skin tones are not softened.
• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may
not be softened.
• For images containing four or more faces, try using
the Skin softening effect in Glamour retouch in
the playback menu.
Saving images takes time.
It may take more time to save images in the following
situations.
• When the noise reduction function is in operation,
such as when shooting in a dark environment
• When the flash mode is set to V (auto with red-
eye reduction)
• When the skin softening function is applied while
shooting
