The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.
Rotate the mode dial to set to the proper mode for the
distance to the subject.
Is the subject out of the focus range? (P32)
When you cannot focus on the subject even if you tried many
times, turn the camera off once and turn it on again.
When taking a picture in shaded areas or indoors, the shutter
speed becomes slow and the Optical Image Stabilizer
function may not work properly. In this case, we recommend
holding the camera with both hands firmly to take pictures
(P32).
Stains, such as fingerprints, may be on the lens. If the surface
of the lens is dirty, turn on the camera and clean it with a soft
cloth.
This camera is not compatible with motion picture recording
on MultiMediaCards.
When you set the [PICT.MODE] to [30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9],
use cards that have a speed of 10 MB/second or better
(shown on the card packaging) for best results.
Shooting may stop unexpectedly with some types of card or if
you use a card whose memory has been fragmented by
repeated shooting and erasure. Clean up the card with this
unit beforehand for best results (P103).
