A2600 [h] flashes on the screen when the shutter button is pressed, and shooting is not possible (=36). A1400 [Charging the flash] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed, and shooting is not possible (=36). [ ] is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (=41). • Set the flash mode to [h] (=62). • Increase the ISO speed (=56). Shots are out of focus. • Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way down to shoot (=29). • Make sure subjects are within focusing range (=119). • Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (=44). • Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated. • Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (=60, 62). No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the shutter button is pressed halfway. • To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly. Subjects in shots look too dark. • Set the flash mode to [h] (=62). • Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (=54). • Adjust contrast by using i-Contrast (=56, 78). • Use AE lock or spot metering (=55). Subjects look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Set the flash mode to [!] (=41). • Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation (=54). • Use AE lock or spot metering (=55). • Reduce the lighting on subjects. Shots look too dark despite the flash firing (=35). • Shoot within flash range (=119). • Increase the ISO speed (=56). Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. • Shoot within flash range (=119). • Set the flash mode to [!] (=41). 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 (=56). • High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (=56). Subjects are affected by red-eye (=43). • Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] (=44) 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 (=78). 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 (=83). 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" (=111 - 114).
