Cause
No CompactFlash card in
the camera.
Subject is too close.
The camera is in macro
mode.
A special situation is pre-
venting the autofocus
system from focusing
(p.31)
Slow shutter speeds
result in blurred images
when the camera is
hand-held.
The subject is beyond
the flash range (p. 79).
Solution
Insert a CompactFlash card
(p.26).
Make sure the subject is within
the autofocus range (0.5m - ∞)
or use the macro mode (p. 69).
Cancel the macro mode setting
(p. 69).
Use the focus-lock function to
focus on an object at the same
distance as the subject (p. 30)
or use manual focus (p. 71).
Use a tripod, change the cam-
era sensitivity to a higher set-
ting (p. 61), or use the flash (p.
21).
Push the flash down or change
the image-quality setting (p.
43).
Move closer to the subject or
change the camera sensitivity
to a higher setting (p. 61).
