Cause/Solution
• Subject is low in contrast, dominated
by repeating geometric patterns, cov-
ers too small an area of the frame, or
contains many fine details, objects of
sharply differing brightness, or objects
at different distances from the cam-
era. Use focus lock to focus on
another subject at same distance.

camera setup menu.
• Focus error. Turn camera off and then
on again.
• Use flash.

• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.

light] scene mode) or use fill flash.
Adjust exposure compensation.

reduced by:
