Cause/Solution
The lens is dirty. Clean the lens.
White balance is not adjusted properly.
The subject is dark and the shutter speed is too
slow, or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be
reduced by:
• Using flash
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting
When recording movies in dim lighting, the image
may become somewhat "grainy" in appearance.
This occurs when the ISO sensitivity increases, and it
does not indicate a malfunction.
• The flash mode is set to W (off).
• 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 set the flash mode setting to X
(fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction in Night portrait scene mode, the In-
Camera Red Eye Fix processing 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.
