Playback
Problem
File cannot be played back.
Cannot zoom in on picture.
Cause/Solution
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance setting is not appropriate for light
source.
Shutter speed too slow. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using flash
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting
• Selecting [On] for [Noise reduction] in the
shooting menu.
• Choosing scene mode with noise reduction
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Apply high-sensitivity shooting mode, or raise
the ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select o ([Backlight] scene
mode) or use fill flash.
When V or "fill flash with slow sync and red-
eye reduction" of e mode is applied during
shooting, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix may, in very
rare cases, be applied to areas not affected by
red-eye. Set a flash mode other than V when
in a shooting mode other than e mode during
shooting.
Cause/Solution
• File was overwritten or renamed by computer
or other make of camera.
• Time-lapse or interval timer photography in
progress: pictures cannot be played back until
recording is complete.
Playback zoom cannot be used with movies,
small pictures, or pictures that have been
cropped to below 320 × 240.
