My image is
too bright.
(continued)
A natural or
artificial source
other than the
flash provided
too much light.
Try taking the picture from a
different angle. Avoid pointing
the camera directly toward a
bright light or reflective surface on
a sunny day. Use the
Flash On
setting (see page 33) or adjust
the Exposure Compensation
(see
page 32).
The scene had
many dark
objects, such as
a black dog on
a black couch.
Decrease the Exposure
Compensation (see page 32) so
the dark objects in the scene will
not look “washed-out.”
My image is
too dark.
There was not
enough light.
Wait for natural lighting
conditions to improve, add
indirect lighting, use the flash
(see page 33), or adjust the
Exposure Compensation (see
page 32).
The flash was
on, but the
subject was too
far away.
Make sure your subject is within
the flash working distance (see
Appendix B: Specifications on
page 105). If so, try using the
Flash Off setting (see
page 33), which will require a
longer exposure.
A light shone
behind the
subject.
Use the Flash On setting (see
page 33) to brighten the subject,
or adjust the Exposure
Compensation (see page 32).
