Cause/Solution
Smear may occur when the camera is aimed at a
bright subject. When using multi-16, sport
continuous, or when recording movies, avoid
bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the
sun, and electric lights.
Flash is reflecting off particles in air. Set flash
mode to W (Off).
• Flash mode is set to W (Off).
• Scene mode in which flash does not fire is
selected.
• Sport continuous mode is selected.
• A feature that cannot be used with the flash is
selected.
Digital zoom cannot be used in the following
situations.
• When Portrait, Night portrait, or Pet
portrait is selected for scene mode
• When smart portrait mode is selected
• When Multi-shot 16 is selected for
Continuous
A feature that cannot be used with image mode
is selected.
Off is selected for Sound settings > Shutter
sound in setup menu. Depending on the
current shooting mode or settings, the shutter
sound is not heard even when set to On.
Off is selected for AF assist option in camera
setup menu. AF-assist illuminator may not light
depending on the position of the focus area or
the current scene mode, even when Auto is
selected.
Lens is dirty. Clean lens.
White balance or hue is not adjusted properly.
The subject is dark, so shutter speed is too slow
or ISO sensitivity is too high.
• Noise can be reduced by using flash.
• Select a lower ISO sensitivity.
