Problem
Images are too dark
(underexposed).
Images are too bright
(overexposed).
Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
Skin tones are not softened.
Saving images takes time.
Cause/Solution
The flash is lowered or a shooting mode that
restricts the flash is selected.
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 raise the flash and set the flash mode
setting to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking images using the flash with V (auto
with red-eye reduction), 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.
In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may
not be softened.
For images containing four or more faces, try using
the Skin softening effect in the playback menu.
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 shooting in Night portrait, Night
landscape, or Backlighting (when HDR is set to
o) scene mode
