• You are shooting in manual focus mode. Set [AF/MF Select] to [Autofocus].
• Ambient light is insufficient.
• The subject may require special focusing. Use the [Flexible Spot] or manual
focus function.
The flash does not work.
• Raise the flash (page 23).
• The flash is not attached correctly. Reattach the flash (page 23).
• You cannot use a flash with the following shooting mode:
– [Bracket: Cont.]
– [Sweep Panorama]
– [3D Sweep Panorama]
– [Night Scene] and [Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Selection]
– [Anti Motion Blur]
– Movie recording
Fuzzy white circular spots appear on images shot using the flash.
• Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared on
the image. This is not a malfunction.
The flash takes too long to recharge.
• The flash has been fired in succession in a short period. When the flash has
been fired in succession, the recharging process may take longer than usual
to avoid overheating of the flash.
The image taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach),
the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the subject. If
the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it (page 49).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 25).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set the
actual area by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes when you press
the shutter button halfway down.
• Since the subject is too bright or too dark, it is beyond the available range of
the camera. Adjust the setting again.
