Problem
Pictures are too dark
(underexposed).
Pictures 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.
Cause/Solution
• 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 set the flash mode setting to X (fill
flash).

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.
• Under some shooting conditions, facial skin
tones may not be softened.
• Use e (Skin softening) for Glamour
retouch in the playback menu for pictures
containing more than three faces.
It may take more time to save pictures in the
following situations.
• When the noise reduction function is in
operation
• When the flash mode is set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction)
• When the skin softening function is applied
while shooting
