Problem My image is too dark (continued). My image is grainy. Possible Cause Solution The scene had many lightcolored objects, such as a white object against a light background. Increase the EV Compensation (see page 55). The camera was too warm when the picture was taken. The camera may have been on for a long time or had been stored in a hot location. This effect, which can happen on all digital cameras, is probably not noticeable in most images. The effect will diminish as the camera cools. For best image quality, avoid storing the camera in very hot locations. If the camera is warm after using it for a long time, consider turning off the Image Display to minimize heating. As with all electronic devices, avoid leaving the camera in very hot locations, such as the dashboard of a car in the sun. The ISO Speed setting was too high. Use a lower ISO Speed setting (see page 57). The Image Quality setting was too low. Use the highest image quality setting (5MP Best), which has the lowest image compression (see page 56).

Troubleshooting and Support
My image is
too dark
(continued).
The scene had
many light-
colored objects,
such as a white
object against
a light
background.
Increase the
EV Compensation
(see
page 55).
My image is
grainy.
The camera was
too warm when
the picture was
taken. The
camera may
have been on
for a long time
or had been
stored in a hot
location.
This effect, which can happen
on all digital cameras, is
probably not noticeable in most
images. The effect will diminish
as the camera cools. For best
image quality, avoid storing the
camera in very hot locations. If
the camera is warm after using
it for a long time, consider
turning off the Image Display to
minimize heating. As with all
electronic devices, avoid
leaving the camera in very hot
locations, such as the
dashboard of a car in the sun.
The
ISO Speed
setting was too
high.
Use a lower
ISO Speed
setting
(see page 57).
The
Image
Quality
setting
was too low.
Use the highest image quality
setting (
5MP Best
), which has
the lowest image compression
(see page 56).
