F12
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 W (backlighting) or set
the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
When using V (auto with red-eye reduction) or
the Night portrait to take pictures using the
flash, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye in rare cases. Use any
shooting mode other than Night portrait,
change the flash mode to any setting other than
V (auto with red-eye reduction), and then try
taking a picture again.
It may take more time to save images in the
following situations.
• When the noise reduction function has been
activated automatically, such as when shooting
in a dark environment
• When the flash mode is set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
• When taking pictures in the following scene
modes.
- j (night landscape)
- W (backlighting) (when HDR is set to any
setting other than Off)
- Portrait, Landscape (when Noise
reduction burst is selected), Night portrait
• When using continuous shooting mode.
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.
