Fuzzy white circular spots appear on images shot using the flash.
•Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared on the image . This is not a
malfunction.
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 camera.
The image taken with the flash is too dark.
•If the subjec t is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach), the pictures will be dar k
because the flash light does not reach the subject. If the ISO is changed, the flash ran ge also changes
with it.
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
•Set the corr ect date and time (page 143).
•The area s elected with [Area Setting] is different f rom the actual area. Set the actual area by s electing
MENU t [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes.
•Since the su bject is too bright or too dark, it is beyond the avai lable range of the camera. Adjust the
setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
•The pictur e was taken under a strong light source, and excessi ve 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 appea r in 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 phenomeno n with [Lens Comp.: Shading] (page 129).
The eyes of the subject come out red.
•Activate the Red Eye Reduction function (page 109).
•Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash rang e using the flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD screen.
•This is not a mal function. These dots are not recorded.
The image is blurred.
•The pictur e was taken in a dark location without the flash, resultin g in camera shake. The use of a
tripod or the flash is recommended (page 65). [Hand-held Twilight] in [Scene Se lection] (page 53)
and [Anti Motion Blur] (page 55) are also effective in reducing blur.
