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. 65)

•

If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 102)

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. 67)

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.

•

Use the Low Light Shot mode. (p. 47)

•

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 65)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 67)

•

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. 43)

•

Set the ﬂash option to Fill in. (p. 65)

•

Adjust the exposure. (p. 76)

•

Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 77)

•

Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 77)

Basic functions

Reducing camera shake

Set the Optical Image Stabilization option to reduce camera shake optically. (p. 34)

When is displayed

Camera shake

When you shoot in the dark, avoid setting the ﬂash option to Slow Sync or Off. The aperture remains open longer and it may be harder to hold the camera steady long enough to capture a clear photo.

•

Use a tripod or set the ﬂash option to Fill in. (p. 65)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 67)

Page 37

Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difﬁcult to get your subject in focus when:

there is little contrast between the subject and background (for example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the background)

the light source behind the subject is too bright

the subject is shiny or reﬂective

the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the focus lock

Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus, you can reposition the frame to change the composition. When you are ready, press [Shutter] to capture your photo.

•

When you capture photos in low light

•

When subjects are moving rapidly

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 65)

For best results when capturing panoramic photos, avoid the following:

- moving the camera too quickly or too slowly

- moving the camera too little to capture the next image

- moving the camera at irregular speeds

- shaking the camera

- shooting in dark places

- capturing moving subjects nearby

- shooting conditions where the brightness or color of light is changing

•

Photos taken are automatically saved, and shooting is stopped under the following conditions:

- if you change the shooting direction while shooting

- if you move the camera too rapidly

- if you don't move the camera

Selecting Live Panorama mode will disable the digital and optical zoom functions. If you select Live Panorama mode while the lens is zoomed in, the camera automatically zooms out to the default position.

•

In Live Panorama mode, some shooting options are not available.

•

In Live Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the last scene in its entirety if you stop moving the camera exactly where you want the scene to end. To capture the entire scene, move your camera slightly beyond the point where you want the scene to end.

•

In 3D Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the very beginning or end of a scene due to the nature of the 3D effect. To capture the entire scene, move slightly beyond the beginning and end points you want to capture.

•

In 3D Panorama mode, photos are captured in both JPEG and MPO ﬁle formats.

•

You can view an MPO ﬁle that supports the 3D effect only on an MPO-compatible display, such as 3D TV or 3D monitor. On your camera's display, you can view only JPEG ﬁles.
