Solution
Autofocus may not operate correctly for some
subjects. Follow the suggestions described in
"Difficult to focus subjects."
If you move the camera while pressing down
the shutter button, the picture may be
blurred. This is called camera shake. Hold
the camera steady with both hands with your
elbows at your side and make sure your
fingers are down and grasping the camera.
Practice holding the camera correctly.
For autofocusing to work correctly you must
use the AF target mark. Position the subject
you want to focus in the center of the
viewfinder, or use auto lock focus.
Always store the camera in its case when it
is not in use. Clean the lens.
If you are within 20 - 60 cm (0.7 - 2 ft.) from
the subject, the macro mark
displayed in the control panel. If you are
farther than 60 cm (2ft.) from the subject
neither the macro mark
lens mark
should be displayed. If the
conversion lens is attached to the camera,
only the conversion lens mark
displayed.
If you stand in front of the camera and press
the shutter button, the camera will focus on
you. Compose the picture by looking through
the viewfinder and then press the shutter
button.
This is the flash warning telling you that
there is not enough light on the subject to
shoot the picture without the flash. Use the
flash.
