bright, the faces of people in
the image are dark.

Recognition of a family
member’s face is not
recognized correctly, even
though the face has been
recorded.
Though face characteristics were recorded for your family member, the data may have been faulty, or the
angle to the face or its expression may be making recognition difficult. Re-record the face of the family
member who is not being recognized (page 85).
The image is out of focus
during movie recording.
1) Focusing is not possible because the subject is outside the focus range. Shoot within the allowable
range.
2) The subject you are shooting may be difficult to focus (page 68).
3) The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens (page 35).
