What if...
•
What if the color and brightness of the images do not turn out as expected?
The scene icon (p. 180) that appears on the screen may not match the actual
scene. If this happens, try shooting in G mode (p. 71).
• What if the screen is off even the camera is turned on?
The display is set to the viewfinder. Press the l button several times to
restore the display to the screen.
• What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward
a subject?
When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main
subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will
follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 84). If the main subject moves,
however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the white frame.
• What if a blue frame appears when you press the shutter button halfway?
A blue frame appears when a moving subject is detected; the focus and
exposure will continuously adjust (Servo AF).
• flashes on the screen?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the
image.
• What if the camera does not play any sounds?
Pressing the l button while turning on the camera power will turn off all
sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n
button to choose [Mute] in the 3 tab, then press the qr buttons to choose [Off].
• What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. The effective flash range is
approximately 50 cm – 5.8 m (1.6 – 19 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and
approximately 1.4 – 2.8 m (4.6 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).
•
What if the camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
Your subject may be too close. Move the zoom lever toward i and hold it until
the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and
you will be able to focus on subjects that are about 1.4 m (4.6 ft.) or more away
from the end of the lens.
• What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting
in dark areas.
• What if the h icon blinks when you try to shoot?
The flash is charging. You can shoot when recharging ends.
