Cause Solution
Ensure that there is at least 46 cm (1.5 ft.)
between the camera lens and subject.
When shooting subjects within the 5 to 46 cm
(2.2 in. to 1.5 ft.) wide angle range or the 26 to
46 cm (10 in. to 1.5 ft.) telephoto range, use
Macro mode.
Use the focus lock or the manual focus to
shoot the image. (See Shooting Problem
Subjects for the Autofocus (p. 87))
Set the flash on.
Set exposure compensation to a positive value
or use the spot metering function.
When the flash is used, the distance between
lens and subject should not exceed 4.2 m
(14 ft.) at wide angle and 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) at
telephoto. Raise the ISO sensitivity and then
shoot. (See Changing the ISO Speed (p. 84))
When the flash is used, the distance between
lens and subject should be no less than 26 cm
(10 in.).
Set exposure compensation to a negative
value.
