Cause/Solution
Another function that restricts the Image mode
option is enabled.
Off is selected for Sound settings > Shutter sound
in setup menu. No sound is produced with some
shooting modes and settings, even when On is
selected.
Off is selected for the AF assist option 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.
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance or hue is not adjusted properly.
The subject is dark, so shutter speed is too slow or ISO
sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
• The flash mode is set to W (off).
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene mode or
set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
