Basic troubleshooting You can get answers to common questions. Solve problems easily by setting shooting options.
The subject's eyes appear red.
This is caused by a reflection from the camera flash. Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 49) If the photo has already been taken, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 79)
Photos have dust 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. Set ISO speed options. (p. 50)
Photos are blurred. Blurring can occur if may be caused if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 29)
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 steady the camera and may result in camera shake. Select 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) Adjust the exposure. (p. 58) Set the metering option to Spot if a subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 59)

Glossary
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance) This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images when the subject is backlit or when there is a high contrast between your subject and the background.
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket) This feature automatically captures several images at different exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.
AF (Auto Focus) A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.
Aperture The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the cameras sensor.
Camera shake (Blur) If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS or OIS function to stabilize the camera.
Composition Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
Depth of field The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase the depth of field and blur the background of a composition.
Digital zoom A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with zoom lens (optical zoom). When using the digital zoom, the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) A format for writing printing information, such as selected images and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the information from the card for convenient printing.
EV (Exposure Value) All the combinations of the cameras shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure.
Appendixes 114
Glossary
EV Compensation This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).
Exposure The amount of light allowed to reach the cameras sensor. Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.
Flash A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.
Focal length The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in millimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
Image sensor The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
ISO sensitivity The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.
Macro This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).
Appendixes 115
Glossary
Metering The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.
MJPEG (Motion JPEG) A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.
Noise Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.
Optical zoom This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of images.
Quality An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.
Resolution The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.
Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which pass through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
Vignetting A reduction of an images brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image.
White balance (color balance) An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image.
