• If you compensate the exposure to minus,
refer to the histogram and then take a
picture again, it may result in a good picture.
• When taking a picture with the flash on
and the subject too close, white saturation
may occur. When highlight display is set
to [ON], white saturation emerges in
places illuminated with the flash as shown
below. The saturated areas appear
blinking in black and white.

brightness level on the vertical axis.
