My image is too bright. ● Turn the flash off (see Flash Setting under Using the Capture Menu on page 12). ● Move back from the subject and use zoom. ● Adjust Exposure Compensation (see Exposure Compensation under Using the Capture Menu on page 12). My image is too dark. ● Wait for natural lighting conditions to improve, use the flash (see Flash Setting under Using the Capture Menu on page 12), or add indirect lighting. ● Adjust Exposure Compensation (see Exposure Compensation under Using the Capture Menu on page 12). ● If the subject you are trying to capture is outside the flash range (see Flash working distance under Specifications on page 29), turn off the flash. This causes a longer exposure time, so use a tripod or hold the camera steady. 22
