The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Shoot within the effective flash 
range of approximately 30 cm – 3.5 m (1.0 – 11 ft.) at maximum wide angle, and 
approximately 30 cm – 2.0 m (1.0 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto.

The camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
Your subject is too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle, move 
about 2 cm (0.79 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about 
50 cm (1.6 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto.

To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in 
dark areas.

Scene Icons

automatically focuses and selects the optimum settings for subject 
brightness and color.

* Displays when the camera is attached to a tripod.

Under certain conditions, the icon that displays may not match the actual 
scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a 
wall for example), 

 or the “Blue Skies” icons may appear and it may 

not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this happens, try 
shooting in the 

G mode (p. 68).
