Cause/Solution
Off is selected for AF assist in the setup menu. AF-
assist illuminator may not light depending on the
position of the focus area or the current scene mode,
even when Auto is selected.
The lens is dirty. Clean the lens.
White balance or hue is not adjusted properly.
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. Select Backlighting scene
mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), scene auto selector mode, or fill flash with
slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait
scene mode, the In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be
applied to areas not affected by red-eye in rare cases.
Use any scene mode other than Night portrait, and
change the flash mode to any setting other than V
(auto with red-eye reduction) and try taking an image
again.
