Color from the light source?
Open the built-in flash, and set the camera in
the fill-in flash mode ( displayed in the
control panel) and then take the picture with
the flash.
Set the white balance setting appropriate for
the subject and then take the picture again.
Was the white balance setting correct?
Colors are odd.
Did you set the date and time?
After you purchase the camera, you should
set the date and time.
Has more than 1 month passed with dead
batteries in the camera?
If dead batteries are left in the camera longer
than 1 month, the date and time settings
could become disabled. Reset the date and
time.
Date incorrect.
When shooting a picture of people or
animals with the flash in a dark location, the
blood vessels in the retinas of their eyes
cause their eyes to appear red.
The reaction of the eye differs among people
and animals and is also affected by the
surrounding brightness of incident light. Set
the flash mode for red-eye reduction to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon.
Eyes of subjects reflect red points of light.
Have you reviewed the current settings?
Open the menus one by one and review the
selected settings. Current settings are
marked in relief in the menus.
Press the flash mode button and the
record mode button together.
Do you want to restore all default settings?
You have forgotten what settings you selected in the menus.
