•
(page 50) or adjust the exposure (page 49).

Vertical streaks appear when you are shooting a very bright subject.
The smear phenomenon is occurring and white, black, red, purple, or other streaks appear on
•
the image. This phenomenon is not a malfunction.
Noise appears in the image when you view the screen in a dark place.
The camera is attempting to increase the visibility of the screen by temporarily brightening
•
the image under conditions of low illumination. There is no effect on the recorded image.
The eyes of the subject come out red.
Set [Red Eye Reduction] to [On] (page 55).
•
Shoot the subject at a distance closer than the flash range using the flash.

Retouch the image using [Red Eye Correction] (DSC-W130 only) (page 58).

This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 2).
•
The image seen through the finder does not match with the actual recordable
range.
The parallax phenomenon is occurring when the subject is close. In this case, to confirm the
•
recordable range, use the LCD screen.
