The flash takes too long to recharge.
• The flash has been fired in succession in a short period. When the flash has
been fired in succession, the recharging process may take longer than usual
to avoid overheating of the flash.
The image taken with the flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach),
the pictures will be dark because the flash light does not reach the subject. If
the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes with it (page 48).
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 23).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. Set the
actual area by selecting MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes.
• The subject is too bright or too dark, and the camera’s available range for the
aperture value and/or shutter speed is exceeded. Adjust the setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under backlit conditions, and excessive light has
entered the lens. When using the zoom lens, attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on
the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or
the hood may partially appear on the image. The optical properties of some
lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient
light). You may compensate for this phenomenon with [Lens Comp.:
Shading].
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Activate the [Red Eye Reduction] function.
• Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash range
(page 48) using the flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD screen.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded (page 78).
