Remedy
Autofocus cannot work well for subjects
that have low contrast (sky, white walls,
etc.), dark colors, intricate designs,
rapidly-moving objects or scenery shot
through a window or a net-like pattern.
Lock focus on another object located at
the same distance as your subject, then
aim at the target and press the shutter
release button fully. Alternatively, use
manual focus. (p.114)
Position the subject in the AF area. If the
subject is outside the AF area, aim the
camera at the subject and lock the focus,
then compose a picture and press the
shutter release button fully.
Move away from the subject and take
a picture.
Set the focus mode switch to l or A.

Set the flash mode to E (Flash On) or F
(Flash On+Red-eye Reduction). (p.70)
Select a capture mode other than those
shown to the left. (p.86)
Use manual zoom.
Set [USB Connection] to [MSC] in
