Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.
• Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 49)
• If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 84)
Photos have dust
spots.
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.
• Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
• Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 51)
Photos are blurred.
Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
• Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 29)
• Use the d mode. (p. 40)
Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the
camera steady long enough to take a clear picture and may result in camera shake.
• Select Night in s mode. (p. 34)
• Turn on the flash. (p. 49)
• Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 51)
• Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
• Avoid shooting toward the sun.
• Select Backlight in s mode. (p. 34)
• Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 49)
• Adjust the exposure. (p. 61)
• Set the metering option to Spot if a bright subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 62)
