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.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• The subject is backlit. Set the scene mode
to Backlighting with HDR set to k, or
set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking images with V (auto with red-
eye reduction), In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be
applied to areas not affected by red-eye in
rare cases. Use any shooting 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 taking images in the following scene
modes
- Hand-held in Night portrait
- Hand-held in Night landscape
- HDR set to o in Backlighting
- Easy panorama
• When the skin softening function is applied
while shooting
• When using continuous shooting mode
