Still Photo and/or Video Quality Problems
1. Night photos or videos appear too dark
a. Try using a set of new batteries. The flash will stop operating
near the end of the battery life.
b. You will get the best results when the subject is within the
ideal flash range, no farther than 30' from the camera. Subjects
may appear too dark at greater distances.
c. Please note that when the still photo mode is set to "3P", or with
very short Delay time settings, some images may appear darker
than others due to the quick response and rapid retriggering
of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge
before firing again.
2. Daytime photos or videos appear too dark
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other
light sources during the day, as this may cause the auto exposure
to produce darker results.
3. Night photos or videos appear too bright
a. You will get the best results when the subject is within the
ideal flash range, no closer than 10' (3m) from the camera.
Subjects may appear too light at closer distances.
4. Daytime photos or videos appear too bright
a. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at the sun or other
light sources during the day.
