CORRECTIVE ACTION
1 This "red-eye phenomenon"
occurs with all cameras when a
flash is used. It is caused by
light from the flash reflecting off
the retina at the back of the
eye. Red-eye varies depending
on the individual and the
shooting conditions such as
ambient lighting. Use of the
Red-Eye Reducing Pre-Flash
mode significantly reduces this
phenomenon.
The picture is out of focus.
1 Hold the camera correctly,
and press the shutter button.
Use a tripod, etc. to shoot a
night scene.
2 Position the AF target mark
on the subject, or use the
focus lock.
3 Clean the lens with a soft
dry cloth.
4 Press the shutter button while
looking into the viewfinder,
not while standing in front of
the camera.
6 Use the right manual focus
for the distance.
