Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reect light from the camera ash.
• Set the ash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 57)
• If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 88)
Photos have dust spots. If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the ash.
• Turn o the ash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
• Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 60)
Photos are blurred. Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
• Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is in focus. (p. 35)
• Use the mode. (p. 44)
Photos are blurred when
shooting at night.
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it dicult to hold the camera steady long
enough to capture a clear photo and may result in camera shake.
• Select Night in mode. (p. 41)
• Turn on the ash. (p. 58)
• Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 60)
• Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark areas, the subject may
appear too dark.
• Avoid shooting toward the sun.
• Select Backlight in mode. (p. 41)
• Set the ash option to Fill in. (p. 58)
• Adjust the exposure. (p. 68)
• Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 69)
• Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 69)
