Corrective action
Use manual focus or focus lock to focus on the
subject and then shoot.
Camera vibrations will result in a blurred picture.
Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter
button gently. When a telephoto lens is used,
special care is needed.
The camera is more likely to move with slower
shutter speeds. Use the flash or set a higher
ISO sensitivity. The use of a tripod is also

blower blush and then wipe with a lens cleaner
to remove dust. Mold may form on the lens
surface if the lens is left dirty.
When there is something dark in the center of
the image, the edges of the image will be
brighter regardless of the metering system.
Adjust the exposure toward –.
Set ISO to auto or 100. If there is no
improvement, use an ND filter.
Increase the aperture value. Or set the
exposure mode to the P mode.
Increase the shutter speed. Or set the exposure
