A recorded image
was not saved.
1)Camera power may have been turned off before the save
operation was complete, which will result in the image not
being saved. If the battery indicator shows , charge the
battery as soon as possible (page 19).
2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera
before the save operation was complete, which will result in
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card
before the save operation is complete.
Though available
lighting is bright,
the faces of people
in the image are
dark.
Not enough light is reaching the subjects. Change the flash
mode setting to
<
(Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page
38), or adjust EV shift to the + side (page 64).
Night shots come
out bad.
Use the following BEST SHOT scenes (page 51) when shooting
at night.

scenery)

dark when shooting
images in a
seashore or ski
area.

underexposure of images. Change the flash mode setting to
<
(Flash On) for daylight synchro flash (page 38), or adjust EV
shift to the + side (page 64).

(including HD
zoom) does not
work. The zoom
