Problem
Randomly spaced
bright pixels ("noise")
appear in image.
Images are too dark
(underexposed).
Images are too bright
(overexposed).
Unexpected results
when flash set to V
(auto with red-eye
reduction/red-eye
reduction).
Skin tones are not
softened.
Cause/Solution
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.
Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
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.
Increase ISO sensitivity.
The subject is backlit. Set the scene mode
to Backlighting with HDR set to Off, or
set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking images with V (auto with red-
eye reduction/red-eye reduction) or Scene
auto selector, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be
applied to areas not affected by red-eye in
rare cases. Use any shooting mode other
than Night portrait, and change the flash
mode to any setting other than V (auto
with red-eye reduction/red-eye reduction)
and try taking an image again.
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.
