Corrective action
Use the focus lock to focus on the subject.
Hold the camera correctly and press the
shutter button gently.
Camera movement occurs easily with slower
shutter speeds. When you take a picture with
[$] in a night scene or a dark situation, use
a tripod, or hold the camera firmly.
Clean the lens. Use a commercially available
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.
If the center of the subject is too dark, the
surrounding area emerges as too bright.
Adjust the exposure compensation toward
minus (–).
Hold the camera correctly, keeping your
fingers away from the flash.
Shoot within the flash working range.
Set the flash to [ # ], or use the spot metering
mode.
Higher shutter speeds are used during
sequential shooting, which may result in
pictures that are darker than usual. Set [j]
to [OFF].
If the center of the subject is too bright, the
image as a whole emerges darker. Adjust the
exposure compensation toward plus (+).
