Troubleshooting Guide

Pictures are underexposed or overexposed.

If the main subject looks very dark or very bright, set flash exposure

compensation (p.38).

If there is a highly reflective object in the picture, use FE lock (p.24).

With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the lower the guide

number becomes. Approach the subject or increase the ISO speed

(p.31).

The bottom of the picture looks dark.

Move at least 0.7 m/2.3 ft. away from the subject.

Remove the lens hood if attached.

The picture periphery looks dark.

Set a flash coverage wider than the shooting angle of view (p.15).

The picture is very blurred.

Use a tripod, or set the shooting mode to the <

d

automatic mode (p.19). Note that you can also set the sync speed

in

[Flash sync. speed in Av mode]

or

[Slow synchro]
