Randomly spaced bright pixels
(“noise”) appear in movies.
When recording movies in dim lighting, the
image may become somewhat “grainy” in
appearance. This occurs when the ISO sensitivity
increases, and it does not indicate a malfunction.

Unexpected results when flash
set to

reduction).
When taking pictures with
b (auto with red-
eye reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and
red-eye reduction in Night portrait scene
mode, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye. Use any scene
mode other than Night portrait, and change
the flash mode to any setting other than
b
(auto with red-eye reduction) and try shooting
again.
