Problem
My image is
blurry.
My image is
too dark.
54
Possible cause
Your subject was too
close to the camera
lens.
The camera did not
have time to set the
automatic focus and
automatic exposure.
The subject wasn't
centered in the
frame, or the subject
did not provide
enough contrast for
the camera to focus
properly.
The subject moved
while you took the
picture.
You moved the
camera while you
took the picture.
The ambient light
was insufficient.
The flash was on,
but the subject was
too far away.
Your finger blocked
the flash.
Solution
The camera's automatic focus range is
60 cm (23.7 inches) from the front of the
lens to infinity. For a clear, sharp image,
make sure your subject is within this
range.
Make sure you press the
halfway down and hold it until the green
viewfinder light comes on. This means
that automatic focus and automatic
exposure are complete. Then you can
press the
SHUTTER
down to take your picture.
If you do not want your subject in the
middle of the image, or if the subject
lacks contrast, use focus lock to set the
camera's automatic focus using a
different subject. For more information,
see "Using focus lock" on page 9.
If you are photographing a moving
object, try using focus lock.
Hold the camera steady as you press
the button, or use a tripod.
SHUTTER
Wait for natural lighting conditions to
improve, add indirect lighting, or use the
flash to illuminate your subject.
The flash can only illuminate objects that
are within 3.7 m (about 12 feet) of the
camera. Make sure your subject is within
range of the flash when you take the
picture.
Be sure to move your fingers away from
the flash when you are ready to take a
picture.
