Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out.

•Shoot within flash range (=258).

•Lower the flash and set the flash mode to [!] (=51).

•Adjust brightness by using flash exposure compensation or changing the flash output level (=119, 128).

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 (=99).

Subjects are affected by red-eye (=68).

•Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (=75) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (=5) in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp

is on (for about one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. 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 (=163).

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 (=178).

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 Tab Menu” (=233 – 252).
