Remedy
The camera may have difficulty in
focusing on such subjects as: low-
contrast subjects (a white wall, a blue
sky, etc.), dark subjects, finely-patterned
objects, rapidly-moving objects. It is also
difficult to get proper focus when
shooting through a window or a net. Try
shooting using the focus lock (p.33) or
Manual Focus (p.91).
Locate the desired subject in the focus
frame J (focusing area) in the center
of the LCD monitor. If it is difficult to do
so, first lock the focus on the desired
subject (focus lock), and then move the
camera to recompose. (p.33)
Set the focus mode to q (Macro) or
r (Super Macro). (p.90)
Normal pictures will be out of focus if
taken with the focus mode set to
q (Macro) or r (Super Macro).
Set the flash mode to Auto or b. (p.93)
The flash will not discharge in these
modes. You can cancel the non-flash
setting in
(Sport) mode and E (Pet)
mode.
Set the USB Connection setting to PC.
(p.184)
Set the USB Connection setting to
PictBridge. (p.184)
