Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.
•
Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 61)
•
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 98)
Photos have dust
spots.
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.
•
Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 63)
Photos are blurred. Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
•
Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 32)
•
Use the
d
mode. (p. 47)
Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the
camera steady long enough to take a clear picture and may result in camera shake.
•
Select Night in
s
mode. (p. 37)
•
Turn on the flash. (p. 61)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 63)
•
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 light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Select Backlight in
s
mode. (p. 37)
•
Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 61)
•
Adjust the exposure. (p. 73)
•
Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 74)

About histograms
A histogram is a graph that illustrates how light is distributed
in your photo. If the histogram has a high peak on the left, the
photo is underexposed and will appear dark. A peak on the
right of the graph means that the photo is overexposed and will
appear washed out. The height of the peaks is related to color
information. The more of a particular color, the taller the peak.

Shutter speed
Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a
photo, refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the
shutter. A slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in.
All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast moving
objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed
allows less time to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in
motion are captured more clearly.
Slow shutter speed
Fast shutter speed
Aperture value
The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture
housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close, widening
or narrowing the aperture, and controlling the amount of light that
enters the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to
the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the
photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.
Note that the larger the aperture value, the smaller the aperture
size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is larger than an
aperture set to 11.

of the aperture is large.)
Large aperture value (The size
