Viewing Images - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 Handbook

White or purple streaks appear in bright areas of the subject, or the whole screen
of the image becomes reddish.
• This phenomenon is called smearing. This is not a malfunction. Smearing is not recorded on still
images, but is recorded as streaks or uneven colors on Sweep Panorama images or movies. ("Bright
areas" refers to the sun or electric lights which are much brighter than surroundings.)
Noise appears in the image when you view the screen in a dark place.
• The camera is attempting to increase the visibility of the screen by temporarily brightening the image
under conditions of low illumination. There is no effect on the recorded image.
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Set [Red Eye Reduction] to [Auto] or [On] (page 83).
• Shoot the subject at a distance closer than the flash range using the flash.
• Light the room and shoot the subject.
• Retouch the image using [Retouch] t [Red Eye Correction] in viewing menu (page 72), or correct
using "PMB".
Dots appear and remain on the screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded.

• No guarantees are made for playing back, on this camera, files containing images which were
processed on a computer or images which were shot using other cameras.
