Basic troubleshooting

Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes appear red.
Photos have dust spots.
Photos are blurred.
Photos are blurred when shooting at night.
Subjects come out too dark because of backlighting.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.
Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 64)
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 97)
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.
Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 66)
Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 35)
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the camera steady long enough to capture a clear photo and may result in camera shake.
Select Night Shot mode. (p. 51)
Turn on the flash. (p. 64)
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 66)
Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark areas, the subject may appear too dark.
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
Select Backlight in Scene mode. (p. 42)
Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 64)
Adjust the exposure. (p. 74)
Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 75)
Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 75)
