F12
Cause/Solution
• The flash is lowered or the flash mode is set to W
(off).
• Flash is blocked by finger or other object.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene
mode, or raise the flash and set the flash mode to X
(fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), or when taking pictures with Night
portrait (either in easy auto mode or in scene mode)
and the fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction
is used, red-eye reduction may be applied, in rare
cases, to areas not affected by red-eye. Use auto
mode or 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 a
picture again.
• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may
not be smoothed.
• Use Skin softening in the playback menu for
images containing four or more faces.
It may take more time to save images in the following
situations.
• When the noise reduction function is in operation,
such as when shooting in a dark environment
• When the flash mode is set to V (auto with red-
eye reduction)
• When the skin softening function is applied while
shooting
