Troubleshooting No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the shutter button is pressed halfway. • To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly. Subjects in shots look too dark. • Set the flash mode to h (p. 100). • Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (p. 84). • Adjust contrast by using i-Contrast (pp. 88, 119). • Use spot metering or AE lock (pp. 85, 86). Subjects look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Set the flash mode to ! (p. 60). • Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (p. 84). • Use spot metering or AE lock (pp. 85, 86). • Reduce the lighting on subjects. Shots look too dark despite the flash firing (p. 50). • Shoot within flash range (see "Specifications" in the Getting Started guide). • Increase the ISO speed (p. 87). Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Shoot within flash range (see "Specifications" in the Getting Started guide). • Set the flash mode to ! (p. 60). White dots or similar image artifacts appear in flash shots. • This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles. Shots look grainy. • Lower the ISO speed (p. 87). • High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (p. 87). Subjects are affected by red-eye (p. 63). • Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (p. 66) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (p. 4) in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range. • Edit images using red-eye correction (p. 120). Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower. • Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (p. 127). Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available. • Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to "Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode", "FUNC. Menu", and "Shooting Menu" (pp. 166 - 173). 158
