Problem My image is too dark (continued). My image is grainy. Possible Cause Solution The Display Brightness needs to be adjusted. Set the Display Brightness in the Setup Menu to Medium or High (see page 66). The ISO Speed setting was too high. Use a lower ISO Speed setting (see page 47). The Image Quality setting was too low. Use a higher Image Quality setting, such as 4MP Best, which has the lowest image compression (see page 40). There was not enough light. • Wait for natural lighting conditions to improve. • Add indirect lighting. • Use the flash (see page 32). The camera was too warm when the picture was taken. The camera may have been on for a long time or stored in a hot location. As the camera gets hotter, images you take may have more noise, resulting in more graininess. The effect will diminish as the camera cools. For best image quality, avoid storing the camera in very hot locations. Troubleshooting and Support 91
