Picture Problems
The picture is out of focus
• The camera was jarred when the shutter release button was pressed. ➜
Hold the camera firmly and press the shutter release button smoothly.
• The viewfinder autofocus mark was not positioned on the subject. ➜
Position the autofocus frame on the subject, or use the focus lock.
• The lens is dirty. ➜ Clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth.
• The mode was not selected correctly. ➜ Shoot in the macro mode where
the subject is within the range of 8″ to 31″. For greater distances, shoot in
the standard mode.
• The shutter release button was pressed while standing directly in front of
the camera when using the self-timer. ➜ When using the self-time, press
the shutter release button while looking into the viewfinder, not while
standing in front of the camera.
• A flash was needed for the photo, but somehow neither the auto-flash nor
fill-in flash mode was operating. ➜ The shutter speed become slower and
the exposure time becomes longer, so use the tripod or hold the camera
as steady as possible to avoid camera movement.
• Quick Focus was used in the wrong focal range. ➜ Use the correct Quick
Focus setting for the distance you’re shooting at.
The picture is too bright
• The flash is set to fill-in flash mode. ➜ Set the flash a different mode.
• The subject being shot is excessively bright. ➜ Use the exposure
compensation feature, or change the angle of the camera.
The picture is too dark
• The flash was blocked by a finger. ➜ Hold the camera correctly, keeping
your fingers away from the flash.
• The subject was out of the working range of the flash. ➜ Shoot within the
flash working range.
• The flash mode was turned off. ➜ Push up the flash housing before
shooting.
• The subject was too small or was backlit. ➜ Set the flash to fill-in mode,
or use the spot metering mode.
• The picture was taken in the sequence mode. ➜ Pictures will appear dark
in the sequence mode because of the fast shutter speed, especially in
dim light.
