Basic troubleshooting

Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.

The subject’s eyes appear red.

Photos have dust spots. If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the ash.

Photos are blurred. Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.

Photos are blurred when shooting at night.

Subjects come out too dark because of backlighting.

Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reect light from the camera ash.

•

Set the ash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 52)

•

If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 83)

•

Turn o the ash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 54)

Use the DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is in focus. (p. 30)

As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it dicult to hold the camera steady long enough to capture a clear photo and may result in camera shake.

•

Select Night in s mode. (p. 39)

•

Turn on the ash. (p. 52)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 54)

•

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 subjec

•

t may appear too dark. Avoid shooting toward the sun. Select Backlight in s mode. (p. 39) Set the ash option to Fill in. (p. 52) Adjust the exposure. (p. 61) Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 62) Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 63)

Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be dicult 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 reective

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
