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.
This is caused by a reflection from the camera flash.
•
Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 54)
•
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 95)
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. 56)
This may be caused if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the
DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 30)
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to steady the
camera and may result in camera shake.
•
Select Night Shot mode. (p. 36)
•
Turn on the flash. (p. 54)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 56)
•
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 the light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Select Backlight in Scene mode. (p. 35)
•
Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 54)
•
Adjust the exposure. (p. 66)
•
Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 67)
