Cause/Solution
When recording movies in dim lighting, the image
may contain noise. This occurs when the ISO
sensitivity increases, and it does not indicate a
malfunction.
The flash mode is set to W (off).
The flash window is blocked.
The subject is beyond the range of the flash.
Adjust exposure compensation.
Increase ISO sensitivity.
The subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene
mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).
Adjust exposure compensation.
Use any scene mode other than Night portrait,
and change the flash mode to any setting other
than V (auto with red-eye reduction) and try
taking the picture again.
In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones
may not be softened.
For images containing four or more faces, try
using the Skin softening effect in Glamour
retouch in the playback menu.
It may take more time to save images in the
following situations:
When the noise reduction function is in
operation, such as when shooting in a dark
environment
When the flash mode is set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction)
When the skin softening function is applied while
shooting
When using continuous shooting mode
When shooting with backlighting or when a very
strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the frame,
colored circles or light streaks (ghosting) may occur.
Change the position of the light source, or frame
the image so that the light source does not enter
the frame, and try again.
