Shots look too dark despite the flash firing (=30). • Shoot within flash range (=104). • Increase the ISO speed (=50). Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Shoot within flash range (=104). • Set the flash mode to [!] (=34). 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 (=50). • High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images. Subjects are affected by red-eye (=36). • Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (=38) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (=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 (=71). 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 (=74). 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" (=99 - 101).

Playback stops, or audio skips. • Switch to a memory card that you have performed low-level formatting on with the camera (=74). • There may be brief interruptions when playing movies copied to memory cards that have slow read speeds. • When movies are played on a computer, frames may be dropped and audio may skip if computer performance is inadequate. Sound is not played during movies. • Adjust the volume (=61) if you have activated [Mute] (=73) or the sound in the movie is faint. • No sound is played for movies shot in [ ] mode (=43) because audio is not recorded in this mode.
