Subject in recorded image is too bright.

Subject is too close,
making the flash too
strong.

Shoot within correct shooting

distance of the subject when using
the built-in flash (p. 114).

Subject is bright in
contrast to the
background.

Set the exposure compensation to a

negative (-) setting (p. 51).

Use AE lock or use the spot

metering function (pp. 48, 50).

Too much light is shining
directly into the camera,
or is being reflected off
the subject.

Change the shooting angle.

Flash is set to on.

Set the flash to

(flash off) (

Basic

Guide

p. 9).

Image flashes white. Image contains noise.

ISO speed is too high.

Higher ISO speeds increase image

noise. To take clean images, use as
low an ISO speed as possible (p. 64).

In , , ,

and

modes,

the ISO speed increases and noise
can appear.

White dots appear on the image.

Light from the flash has
reflected off dust
particles or insects in the
air. This is particularly
noticeable when
shooting using the wide
angle.

This is a phenomenon that occurs

with digital cameras and does not
constitute a malfunction.
