Problem
Unexpected results when
flash set to V (Auto with
red-eye reduction).
Skin tones are not softened.
Saving images takes time.
Colored circles or light
streaks appear in the monitor
or images.
Cause/Solution
When taking images with V (Auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction in Night portrait scene mode, the In-
Camera Red Eye Fix processing may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye. Use 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 shooting again.
• Under some shooting conditions, facial skin
tones may not be softened.
• Use Skin softening for Glamour retouch in
the playback menu for images containing more
than three faces.
It may take more time to save images 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.
When shooting with backlighting or when a very
strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the
frame, colored circles or light streaks (ghosting)
may occur. Change the position of the light source,
or frame the image so that the light source does
not enter the frame and try again.
