Shots look too dark despite the flash firing (=37). • Shoot within flash range (=148). • Increase the ISO speed (=69). Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Shoot within flash range (=148). • Set the flash mode to [!] (=42). 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 (=69). • High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (=52). Subjects are affected by red-eye (=44). • Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (=48) 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 (=100). 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 (=107).

Zooming is not possible. • Zooming is not possible when shooting movies in [ ] (=55) and [ ] (=64) modes. Subjects look distorted. • Subjects that pass in front of the camera quickly may look distorted. This is not a malfunction. Playback Playback is not possible. • Image or movie playback may not be possible if a computer is used to rename files or alter the folder structure. Refer to "Software Instruction Manual" (=119) for details on folder structure and file names. Playback stops, or audio skips. • Switch to a memory card that you have performed low-level formatting on with the camera (=107). • 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.
