Cause/Solution
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.
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 when taking images using fill flash with
slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait
(either in scene auto selector mode or in scene mode),
In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to areas not
affected by red-eye in rare cases. 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 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 Glamour retouch 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 the skin softening function is applied while
shooting
