• Depending on the Shooting mode, when shooting in a high ISO speed the image may
appear rough or grainy (pp. 61, 64).
Eyes appear red (p. 109).
• Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 168). When shooting with the flash, the lamp (on
the front of the camera) lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while the camera
is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if the subject is
looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the
lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
Recording images to the memory card takes a long time, or continuous
shooting slows down.
• Perform a low-level format of the memory card in the camera (p. 52).
Cannot make settings for shooting functions or ø menu.
• The items in which settings can be made differ depending on the shooting mode. Refer
to “Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode” and “Shooting Menu” (pp. 200 – 203).
