Cause/Solution
• Flash is set to W (off ).
• Built-in flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Raise the ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Raise the built-in flash, set Backlight of
the scene mode or set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When V (auto with red-eye reduction) or "fill flash with
slow sync and red-eye reduction" of the Night portrait
scene 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 (auto with red-eye
reduction), select a scene mode other than Night portrait,
and resume shooting.
• Skin softening may not produce the desired results
depending on shooting conditions.
• For pictures with four or more faces, try using Skin
softening in the playback menu.
It may take more time to save images in the following
situations.
• When the noise reduction function is in operation
• When flash is set to V (auto with red-eye reduction)
• When using scene mode Night landscape or
Backlit scene HDR while shooting
• When using skin softening while shooting
• When using sport continuous while shooting
• When using Active-D Lighting while shooting
