## Shots are out of focus. 

• Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way down to shoot ( =  19). 

• Make sure subjects are within focusing range ( =  137). 

• Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] ( =  35). 

• Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated. 

• Try shooting with focus lock ( =  49). 

## No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the shutter button is pressed halfway. 

• To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the shot with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly. 

## Subjects in shots look too dark. 

• Set the flash mode to [ ] ( =  51). 

• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation ( =  44). 

• Adjust contrast by using i-Contrast ( =  46, 67). 

• Use spot metering ( =  45). 

## Subjects look too bright, highlights are washed-out. 

• Set the flash mode to [ ] ( =  32). 

• Adjust brightness by using exposure compensation ( =  44). 

• Use spot metering ( =  45). 

• Reduce the lighting on subjects. 

## Shots look too dark despite the flash firing ( = 2 6 ). 

• Shoot within flash range ( =  135). 

• Increase the ISO speed ( =  45). 

## Subjects in flash shots look too bright, highlights are washed-out. 

• Shoot within flash range ( =  135). 

• Set the flash mode to [ ] ( =  32). 

## White spots appear in flash shots. 

• This is caused by light from the flash reflecting off dust or airborne particles. 

## Shots look grainy. 

• Lower the ISO speed ( =  45). 

• High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images ( =  45). 

## Subjects are affected by red-eye. 

• Set [Lamp Setting] to [On] ( = 35) to light the red-eye reduction lamp ( = 3) for flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit (for about one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range. 

• Edit images using red-eye correction ( =  68). 

## Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower. 

• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card ( =  102). 

## Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available. 

• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Tab” ( =  129 – 133). 

## Shooting Movies 

## The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted. 

• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high- speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length of movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time ( =  101, 137). 

## [ ] is displayed and shooting stops automatically. 

The camera’s internal memory buffer filled up as the camera could not record to the memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures. 

• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card ( =  102). 

• Lower the image quality ( =  34). 

• Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording ( =  137).
