Technical Notes
Playback
Randomly spaced bright pixels
(“noise”) appear in image.
Shutter speed too slow or ISO sensitivity is high as
the subject is dark. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
• Using a scene mode which has noise
reduction ability.

Unexpected results when flash
set to V (auto with red-eye
reduction).
If taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction when scene mode is set to Night
portrait, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye. Use any scene mode
other than Night portrait, and change the flash
to any other settings other than V (auto with
red-eye reduction) and try shooting again.
