Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subjects eyes
appear red.
Red eye is caused by the reection of light from the camera ash off the back of the eye.
Red-eye or
Red-eye Fix. (p. 53)
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 92)
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the ash.
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 55)
Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the
OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 31)
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difcult to hold the
camera steady enough to take a clear picture and may result in camera shake.
Select Night Shot mode. (p. 39)
Turn on the ash. (p. 53)
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 55)
Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between the light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
Set the ash option to Fill in. (p. 53)
Adjust the exposure. (p. 64)
Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 65)
Set the metering option to
Spot if a bright subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 65)
