Cause/Solution
• Under some shooting conditions, facial skin
tones may not be softened.
• Use Skin softening in the playback menu for
pictures containing more than three faces.
• Off is selected for Sound settings>Shutter
sound in setup menu.
• Continuous, Multi-shot 16 or BSS is
selected for the Continuous setting in
shooting menu.
• d (Sports scene mode) or l (Museum
scene mode) is selected.
• D mode is selected.
• The speaker is blocked. Do not cover the speaker.
• Off is selected for AF assist in the setup menu.
• AF-assist illuminator turns off automatically in
some scene modes.
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance does not match light source.
Shutter speed is 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.
• Using a scene mode which has noise
reduction ability.
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select o (Backlight) scene
mode or use fill flash.
Adjust exposure compensation.
When taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction in Night portrait scene mode, In-
Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to areas not
affected by red-eye. Use any scene mode other
than Night portrait, and change the flash to any
setting other than V (auto with red-eye
reduction) and try shooting again.
