Images are too dark
(underexposed).
• Flash mode is set to W (Off).
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Raise the ISO sensitivity.
• Subject is backlit. Select the Backlighting
scene mode, or raise the flash and set the flash

Images are too bright
(overexposed).
Adjust exposure compensation.
Unexpected results when flash
set to V (auto with red-eye
reduction).
When taking pictures with V (auto with red-
eye reduction), or when taking pictures with
Night portrait (either in easy auto mode or the
Night portrait scene mode) and the fill flash
with slow sync and red-eye reduction is used,
red-eye reduction may be applied, in rare cases,
to areas not affected by red-eye. Use auto mode
or any scene mode other than Night portrait,
and change the flash mode to any setting other
than V (auto with red-eye reduction) and try
taking picture again.
Saving images takes time.
When the flash mode is set to V (auto with red-
eye reduction), it may take more time to save images.
A ring-shaped belt or rainbow-
colored stripe appears in the
monitor or images.
When shooting with backlighting or when a very
strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the frame,
a ring-shaped belt or rainbow-colored stripe
(ghosting) may occur. Change the position of the
light source, or frame the picture so that the light
source does not enter the frame and try again.
