Taking Pictures (Smart Auto) What if... • What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward a subject? When faces are detected, a white frame appears on the face of the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will follow the subjects within a certain range (p. 72). • What if a flashing appears? Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the image. • What if the camera does not play any sounds? Pressing the n button while turning on the camera power will turn off all sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n button, choose the 3 tab, and then choose [Mute]. Press the qr buttons to choose [Off]. • What if the image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting? The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Press the zoom button toward j and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting and you can shoot within the effective flash range of approximately 30 cm - 3.0 m (12 in. - 9.8 ft.).

Your subject may be too close. Press the zoom button toward j and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum wide angle setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are approximately 5 cm (2.0 in.) or more away from the end of the lens. Press the zoom button toward i and hold it until the lens stops moving. The camera will be at its maximum telephoto setting and you will be able to focus on subjects that are approximately 25 cm (9.8 in.) or more away from the end of the lens. • What if the lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway? To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in dark areas. • What if the screen turns off when you try to shoot? When flash recharging begins, the screen turns off. The screen turns on again when recharging ends. 25
