or ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by
using the flash.

Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), or when taking images using fill flash with
slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait
(either in easy auto mode or in scene mode), In-Camera
Red Eye Fix may be applied to areas not affected by
red-eye in rare cases. Use auto mode or any scene
mode other than Night portrait, and change the flash
mode to any setting other than V (auto with red-eye
reduction) and try taking an image again.
