Shooting Movies - Canon PowerShot SX160 IS Getting Started

Troubleshooting
Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out.
• Shoot wi hin flash range (= 2 05).
•
Lower the flash and set he flash mode to [!] (= 4 3).
• Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the flash output
level (= 9 9, 107).
White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots.
• This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles.
Shots look grainy.
• Lower the ISO speed (= 8 2).
Subjects are affected by red-eye (= 5 6).
• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (= 6 2) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp
(= 4 ) in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about
one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye.
For best results, have subjects look at he red-eye reduc ion lamp. Also try increasing
he ligh ing in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correc ion (= 1 38).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting
is slower.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (= 1 47).
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to "Func ions Available in Each
Shooting Mode", "FUNC. Menu", and "Shooting Menu" (= 1 92 – 196).

speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, he length
of movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording ime (= 1 46,
204).
[ ] is displayed and shooting stops automatically.
