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.
