Sony Alpha DSLR-A850 Instruction Manual page 159

The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under a strong light source, and excessive light has
entered the lens. Attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on
the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or
the hood may partially appear in the image. The optical properties of some
lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient
light). In such cases, making the aperture smaller by 1 to 2 steps may
prevent this phenomenon.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD monitor.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 9).
The EV scale b B is flashing in the viewfinder.
• The subject is too bright or too dark for the metering range of the camera.
