Troubleshooting
Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out.
• Shoot within flash range ( = 276).
• Lower the flash and set the flash mode to [ !] (= 47).
• Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the flash output
level ( = 144, 153).
White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots.
• This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles.
Shots look grainy.
• Lower the ISO speed ( = 117).
• High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images ( = 90).
Subjects are affected by red-eye (= 75).
• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] ( = 82) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp
( = 4) in flash shots. For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction
lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction ( = 193).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card ( = 204).
Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Menu” ( = 260 – 266).
The Babies or Children icon does not display.
• The Babies and Children icons will not display if the birthday is not set in face
information ( = 63). If the icons still do not display even when you set the birthday,
re-register face information ( = 69), or make sure that the date/time are set
correctly ( = 200).
Shooting Movies
The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.
• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high-speed
recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length of movies on
the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time ( = 203, 275).
A “full buffer” warning (= 256) is displayed and shooting stops
automatically.
The camera’s internal memory buffer filled up as the camera could not record to the
memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card ( = 204).
• Lower the image quality ( = 77).
• Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording ( = 275).
