image flashes white.
Subject is too close, making
the flash too strong.
Shoot within correct shooting
distance of the subject when using
the built-in flash (p. 118).

because the surroundings
are too dark.

negative (–) setting (p. 54).
Use the spot metering function
(
p. 53).
Too much light is shining
directly into the camera, or
is being reflected off the
subject.
Change the shooting angle.
Flash is set to on.
Set the flash to
(Flash off)

the aperture value in the
aperture-priority AE mode*.
