appear red.

Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 49)

spots.
Dust particles floating in the air may be captured in photos when using the flash.
• Turn off the flash or avoid taking photos in a dusty place.

incorrectly. Use the DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 29)
Photos are blurred

night.
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows.

Night in the mode. (p. 36)
• Turn on the flash. (p. 49)
• Set ISO speed options. (p. 50)
• Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between
the light and dark areas, the subject may come out shaded.
• Avoid shooting with the sun behind your subject.
• Select
Backlight in the mode. (p. 34)
• Set the flash option to
Fill in. (p. 49)
• Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 59)
