kits for Windows, and the LK-2, LK-2A, LK-2V, LK-21
connection kits for the Macintosh. Never try to use the

Probable Cause Action
1. Focus the image before recording it.
2. Use the Normal Mode for scenery and group
shots.
3. Use the Macro Mode for close ups.
Shoot under incandescent or other non-fluorescent
lighting (page 24).
1. Hold the camera correctly, making sure that your
finger or the wrist strap is not blocking the lens.
2. Take particular care under the following condi-
tions, which can cause the recorded image to be
slightly different from the image that appears in
the viewfinder.
• Macro photography
For more precise image composition, use the
LCD monitor screen instead of the viewfinder.
• Aiming at an angle that is diagonal to the
viewfinder's optical axis.
It is best to point the lens directly at the subject,
and not at an angle.
1. Press MODE to enter the Movie Record Mode
(page 31).
2. Delete images you no longer need from camera
memory, so there are at least two images worth
of free memory capacity (page 57).
