poorly lit, which may result in noticeable mottling when
images are previewed in the displays. Images taken with
the camera are unaff ected.

focus.

No face is detected.
•
The subject’s face is obscured by sunglasses, a hat, long hair, or
other objects: Remove the obstructions (

pies a larger area of the frame (

hold their head straight (
P

•
The subject’s face is poorly lit: Shoot in bright light.
