• You try to shoot a subject that may require special focusing (page 73). Use
the focus-lock or manual focus function (pages 73, 75).
Recording takes a long time.
• The noise reduction function is turned on (page 118). This is not a
malfunction.
• You are shooting in RAW mode (page 115). Since the RAW data file is
large, the RAW mode shooting may take time.
The image is out of focus.
• The subject is too close. Check the minimum focal distance of the lens.
• You are shooting in manual focus mode, set the focus mode lever to AF
(autofocus) (page 72).
Eye-Start AF does not work.
• Set [Eye-Start AF] to [On] (page 67).
• Press the shutter button halfway down.
The flash does not work.
• The flash mode is set to [Autoflash]. If you want to make sure the flash fires
without fail, set the flash mode to [Fill-flash] (page 81).
Fuzzy specks appear in images shot using the flash.
• Dust in the air reflected the flash light and appeared in the image. This is
not a malfunction.
The flash takes too long to recharge.
• The flash has been fired in succession in a short period. When the flash has
been fired in succession, the recharging process may take longer than usual
to avoid overheating of the camera.
A picture taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can
reach), the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the
subject. If the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it
(page 80).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
