Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and support

A long delay
occurs
between
pressing the
Shutter button
and the
camera
taking a
picture.
The camera
needs time to
lock focus and
exposure.
Use
Focus Lock
. (See
Using focus
lock
on page 31.)
The camera is
taking a long
exposure.
Use a tripod or the flash.
The camera is
set to either the
Red-Eye
or
Night
flash
setting.
It will take longer to take a picture
with either the
Red-Eye
or
Night
flash setting. The shutter is
delayed because of the additional
flash. In turn, make sure your
subjects wait for the second flash.
My image is
too bright.
The flash
provided too
much light.
Use the
Flash Off
setting (see
page 31).
You were too
close to the
subject to use
the flash.
Move back from the subject or use
the
Flash Off
setting (see
page 31), and take the picture
again.
A natural or
artificial source
other than the
flash provided
too much light.
Try taking the picture from a
different angle. Avoid pointing
the camera directly toward a
bright light or reflective surface on
a sunny day. Try adjusting the
Exposure Compensation
(
see
page 39).
The scene had
many dark
objects, such as
a black dog on
a black couch.
Decrease the
Exposure
Compensation
(see page 39) so
the dark objects in the scene will
not look “washed-out.”
