Troubleshooting

White dots appear on the image.
Light from the flash has
reflected off dust particles
or insects in the air. This
is particularly noticeable
when shooting using the
wide angle.
This is a phenomenon that occurs
with digital cameras and does not
constitute a malfunction.
Eyes appear red.
Light is reflected back
from the eyes when the
flash is used in dark
areas.
Set the [Red-Eye] function to [On]
and shoot (p. 35). For this mode to
be effective, the subject must be
looking right at the red-eye reduction
lamp. Try asking them to look directly
at the lamp.
Even better results can be obtained
by increasing the lighting in indoor
settings or approaching closer to the
subject. The shutter will not activate
for approximately 1 second after the
red-eye reduction lamp fires in order
to improve the effect.
You can correct red eyes in images
using the Red-Eye Correction
function (p. 85).
Continuous shooting slows down.
The memory card's
performance has
dropped.
To enhance the continuous shooting
performance, you are recommended
to format (Low Level Format) the
memory card in the camera after you
save all its images to your computer
(p. 29).
Recording images to memory card takes a
long time.
Memory card was
formatted in another
device.
Use a memory card formatted in your
camera (p. 29).
