Problem Image mode not available. No sound when shutter is released. AF-assist illuminator does not light. Images appear smeared. Colors are unnatural. Randomly spaced bright pixels ("noise") appear in image. Images are too dark (underexposed). Images are too bright (overexposed). Cause/Solution Another function that restricts the Image mode option is enabled. Off is selected for Sound settings > Shutter sound in setup menu. No sound is produced with some shooting modes and settings, even when On is selected. Off is selected for the AF assist option in the setup menu. AF-assist illuminator may not light depending on the position of the focus area or the current scene mode, even when Auto is selected. Lens is dirty. Clean lens. White balance or hue is not adjusted properly. The subject is dark, so shutter speed is too slow or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by: • Using flash. • Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting. • The flash mode is set to W (off). • Flash window is blocked. • Subject is beyond flash range. • Adjust exposure compensation. • Increase ISO sensitivity. • Subject is backlit. Select Backlighting scene mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash). Adjust exposure compensation.
