Cause/Solution
Digital zoom cannot be used in the following
situations.
• When Portrait or Night portrait is selected
for Scene mode.
• When using smart portrait mode.
• Just before recording a movie (up to 2× can be
applied while recording movies).
• When Multi-shot 16 is selected for
Continuous.
• Image mode cannot be adjusted when Multi-
shot 16 is selected for Continuous.
• Off is selected for Sound settings > Shutter
sound in setup menu. Even when set to On,
the shutter sound is not heard depending on
the current shooting mode or settings.
• Do not block the speaker.
• Off is selected for AF assist option in camera
setup menu.
• AF-assist illuminator turns off automatically in
some scene modes.
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance does not match light source.
The subject is dark, so shutter speed is too slow
or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be
reduced by:
• Using flash.
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Subject is backlit. Select the Backlight scene
mode, or set the flash mode to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
