Troubleshooting
The flash is lowered, or a shooting mode that restricts
the flash is selected.
The flash window is blocked.
The subject is beyond the range of the flash.
Adjust exposure compensation.
Increase ISO sensitivity.
The subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene mode, or
raise the flash and set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
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 the picture again.
Under some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may
not be softened.
For images containing four or more faces, try using Skin
softening 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 shooting in Night landscape, Night portrait, or
Backlighting (when HDR is set to On) scene mode
When the skin softening function is applied while shooting
When using continuous shooting mode
