Troubleshooting Guide

Pictures are underexposed or overexposed.

●

If the main subject looks very dark or very bright, set flash exposure

compensation (p.38).

●

If there is a highly reflective object in the picture, use FE lock (p.24).

●

With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the lower the guide

number becomes. Approach the subject or increase the ISO speed

(p.31).

The bottom of the picture looks dark.

●

Move at least 0.7 m/2.3 ft. away from the subject.

Remove the lens hood if attached.

The picture periphery looks dark.

Set a flash coverage wider than the shooting angle of view (p.15).

The picture is very blurred.

Use a tripod, or set the shooting mode to the <
