Preparation

•

If there are any white saturated areas, we 
recommend compensating the exposure towards 
negative (P63) referring to the histogram (P56) and 
then taking the picture again. It may result in a better 
quality picture.

•

There may be white saturated areas if the distance 
between the camera and the subject is too close 
when taking pictures with the flash. 
If [HIGHLIGHT] is set to [ON] in this case, the area directly illuminated by the photo flash will 
become white saturated and appear blinking in black and white.

Press the shutter button halfway or turn the camera off and on to cancel [POWER SAVE].
