●If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white round spots may

●The pictures may have been recorded on another device. If so, they may be displayed with poor
picture quality.
Red areas in pictures appear blackened.

colored areas with red areas inside, the digital red-eye correction function may blacken the red

recording. (When the flash is closed, (Forced flash off) is set regardless of the flash setting.)
