Problem
Images are too dark
(underexposed).
Images are too bright
(overexposed).
Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
Skin tones are not softened.
Saving images takes time.
A ring-shaped belt or
rainbow-colored stripe
appears in the monitor or
images.
Cause/Solution
• The flash is lowered or 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 Backlighting scene mode, or
raise the flash and set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), or when taking pictures with Night portrait
(either in easy auto mode or the Night portrait scene
mode) and the fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction is used, red-eye reduction may be applied, in rare
cases, to areas not affected by red-eye. Use auto mode or
any scene mode other than Night portrait, and change
the flash mode to any setting other than V (auto with
red-eye reduction) and try taking a picture again.
• In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may
not be smoothed.
• Use Skin softening in the playback menu for
images containing four or more faces.
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 the skin softening function is applied while shooting
When shooting with backlighting or when a very
strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the frame, a
ring-shaped belt or rainbow-colored stripe (ghosting)
may occur. Change the position of the light source, or
frame the picture so that the light source does not
enter the frame and try again.
