Problem Randomly spaced bright pixels ("noise") appear in image. Images are too dark (underexposed). Images are too bright (overexposed). Unexpected results when flash set to V (auto with red-eye reduction/red-eye reduction). Skin tones are not softened. Cause/Solution The subject is dark, and the shutter speed is too slow or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by: • Using the flash. • Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting. • The flash mode is set to W (off). • The flash window is blocked. • The subject is beyond the range of the flash. • Adjust exposure compensation. • Increase ISO sensitivity. • The subject is backlit. Set the scene mode to Backlighting with HDR set to Off, or set the flash mode to X (fill flash).

Use any shooting mode other than Night portrait, and change the flash 33, 34, 50 mode to any setting other than V (auto with red-eye reduction/red-eye reduction) and try taking an image again. • In some shooting conditions, facial skin tones may not be softened. • For images containing four or more faces, try using the Skin softening effect in Glamour retouch in the playback menu. 39 74, E17 Technical Notes and Index F13
