Troubleshooting Problem Images are too dark (underexposed). Images are too bright (overexposed). Unexpected results when flash set to V (auto with red-eye reduction). Saving images takes time. A ring-shaped belt or rainbowcolored stripe appears in the monitor or images. Cause/Solution A • Flash mode is set to W (Off). 7, 28 • Flash window is blocked. 22 • Subject is beyond flash range. 28 • Adjust exposure compensation. 32 • Raise the ISO sensitivity. 58 • Subject is backlit. Select the Backlighting 28, 41 scene mode, or raise the flash and set the flash mode to X (fill flash). Adjust exposure compensation. 32 When taking pictures with V (auto with red- 34, 28, eye reduction), or when taking pictures with 37 Night portrait (either in easy auto mode or the Night portrait scene mode) and the fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction is used, red-eye reduction may be applied, in rare cases, to areas not affected by red-eye. Use auto mode or any scene mode other than Night portrait, and change the flash mode to any setting other than V (auto with red-eye reduction) and try taking picture again. When the flash mode is set to V (auto with red- 28 eye reduction), it may take more time to save images. When shooting with backlighting or when a very - strong light source (such as sunlight) is in the frame, a ring-shaped belt or rainbow-colored stripe (ghosting) may occur. Change the position of the light source, or frame the picture so that the light source does not enter the frame and try again. Technical Notes Playback Problem File cannot be played back.
