Troubleshooting
Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out.
•
Shoot within flash range (= 2 76).
•
Lower the flash and set the flash mode to [!] (= 4 7).
•
Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the flash output
level (= 1 44, 153).
White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots.
•
This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles.
Shots look grainy.
•
Lower the ISO speed (= 1 17).
•
High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (= 9 0).
Subjects are affected by red-eye (= 7 5).
•
Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (= 8 2) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp
(= 4 ) in flash shots. For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction
lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
•
Edit images using red-eye correction (= 1 93).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower.
•
Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (= 2 04).
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
•
Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to "Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode", "FUNC. Menu", and "Shooting Menu" (= 2 60 – 266).
The Babies or Children icon does not display.
•
The Babies and Children icons will not display if the birthday is not set in face
information (= 6 3). If the icons still do not display even when you set the birthday,
re-register face information (= 6 9), or make sure that the date/time are set
correctly (= 2 00).
Shooting Movies
The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.
•
Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high-speed
recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length of movies on
the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time (= 2 03, 275).
A "full buffer" warning (= 2 56) is displayed and shooting stops
automatically.
The camera's internal memory buffer filled up as the camera could not record to the
memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.
•
Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (= 2 04).
•
Lower the image quality (= 7 7).
•
Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording (= 2 75).
