Though available lighting is bright, the faces of human subjects appear dark.	Not enough light is reaching the subjects.	• Change the flash mode setting to "📸" (flash on) for daylight synchro flash (page 63). • Increase the EV shift value (page 81).
Subjects are too dark when recording images on a seashore or at a ski area.	Sunlight reflected by water, sand, or snow, can cause underexposure of images.	• Change the flash mode setting to "📸" (flash on) for daylight synchro flash (page 63). • Increase the EV shift value (page 81).
Vertical lines on the monitor screen.	Recording a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image.	This is a CCD phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie.
Out of focus images.	The subject is outside the shooting range of the camera.	Record within the allowable shooting range.
Digital noise in images.	Sensitivity is increased automatically for dark subjects. Greater sensitivity increases the chance of digital noise.	Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
Color of the playback image is different from the image on the monitor screen during recording.	Sunlight or light from another source is shining directly into the lens during recording.	Position the camera so sunlight does not shine directly into the lens.
