Your picture is too light (overexposed).
If you are using the forced flash setting, it may be too
bright. Try setting the flash to Automatic. See page 29.
If you are facing a bright light source, you may need to
shoot your picture from a different angle.
Use an image-editing program to adjust the picture’s
brightness and contrast.
Part of your picture is missing.
Make sure you are not blocking the lens with your
finger, hand strap, clothing, or other object.
A horizontal or vertical red line appears on your
picture.
Red lines are caused by glare. Avoid photographing
very shiny surfaces that reflect a glare of light into
your lens.
The wrong date and/or time are displayed on your
camera.
Whenever you change batteries in the camera you
need to reset the clock. See page 60 to use the LCD
monitor to set the clock, or see page 57 to set the
clock from your computer.
If the camera has been subjected to a strong shock or
viration the camera’s date and time settings may be
lost.
The colors in your picture do not look right.
When you take pictures under certain artificial lighting
conditions, the colors may be slightly distorted. You
can use image-editing software to adjust the colors.
Your pictures do not look as good as they used to.
Your camera’s lens may be dirty or dusty. Try cleaning
it following the instructions on page 86.
The area captured in the photo is different from
what you saw in the viewfinder.
Take care to look straight through the viewfinder.
When taking photos in macro mode, we recommend
you to use the LCD monitor rather than the
viewfinder to frame your subject.
Keep in mind that the area visible through the
viewfinder is slightly smaller than the area captured
in the actual pho to.
