Troubleshooting
The subject comes
out underexposed
(too dark).
Insufficient light for shooting.
Set the flash on.
The subject is darker than the
surroundings.
Set exposure compensation to a positive value
or use the spot metering function.
The subject is beyond the range of
the flash.
When flash is used, the distance between lens
and subject should not exceed 2 m (6.7 ft.).
Raise the ISO speed (See
Changing the ISO
Speed
(p. 69)).
The subject comes
out overexposed
(too bright).
The subject is too close to the
flash.
When flash is used, the distance between lens
and subject should be no less than 20 cm (7.9 in.).
The subject is brighter than the
surroundings.
Set exposure compensation to a negative
value or use the spot metering function.
Light is shining or reflecting into
the camera.
Adjust the camera angle.
The flash mode is set so that the
flash always fires.
Set the flash to any other mode except on.
A vertical bar of
light (red, purple)
appears on the
LCD monitor.
The subject is too bright.
This is normal occurrence in devices
containing CCDs and does not constitute a
malfunction. (This red bar of light will not be
recorded when shooting still photos, but it will
be recorded when shooting movies.)
White dots or
white asterisks
appear on the
image.
Light from the flash has reflected
off dust particles or insects in the
air.
This is a phenomenon that occurs with digital
cameras and does not constitute a
malfunction.
