Sony NEX-F3 Instruction Manual page 80

The image taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach),
the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the subject. If
the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it (page 44).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 23).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set the
actual area by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes.
• Since the subject is too bright or too dark, it is beyond the available range of
the camera. Adjust the setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under a strong light source, and excessive light has
entered the lens. When using the zoom lens, attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on
the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or
the hood may partially appear on the image. The optical properties of some
lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient
light). You may compensate for this phenomenon with [Lens Comp.:
Shading].
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Activate the Red Eye Reduction function.
• Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash range
(page 44) using the flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 82).
The image is blurred.
• The picture was taken in a dark location without the flash, resulting in
camera shake. The use of a tripod or the flash is recommended (page 43).
[Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Selection] (page 40) and [Anti Motion Blur]
(page 40) are also effective in reducing blur.
