Cause/Solution
• Digital zoom is set to Off in the setup menu.
• Digital zoom is not available in the following
situations.
- Subject tracking is selected for the touch
shooting setting.
- When Scene auto selector, Portrait, or
Night portrait scene mode is selected.
- When shooting in smart portrait mode
- When Continuous is set to Multi-shot 16.
- Just before recording a movie (up to 2× can
be applied while recording movies).
Another function that restricts the Image mode
option is enabled.
• Off is selected for Sound settings>Shutter
sound in setup menu. No sound is heard with
some shooting modes and settings, even
when On is selected.
• The speaker is being blocked. Do not cover
the speaker.
Off is selected for the AF assist option in the
setup menu. AF-assist illuminator may not light
depending on the position of the focus area or
the current scene mode, even when Auto is
selected.
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance does not match light source.
Shutter speed too slow or ISO sensitivity is high
as the subject is dark. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
• The flash mode is set to W (off)
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select Backlight scene
mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill
flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
