the viewfinder.
zConfirm the actual image size with
the LCD monitor. Use the LCD
monitor when taking close-up shots.
Image is blurred or out of focus.
AF-assist Beam is set to
[Off].
zIn dark places where it is difficult for
the camera to focus, the AF-assist
Beam will emit to assist focusing. As
the AF-assist Beam will not function
when turned off, set it [On] to activate it
(p. 24). Take care not to obstruct the
AF-assist Beam with your hand when
used.
The camera moves when
the shutter button is
pressed.
zSet IS mode to a setting other than
[Off] (p. 32).
zSetting the self-timer to (2
seconds) delays the shutter release
for 2 seconds and allows the camera
to stop shaking, thus preventing a
blurred image (Basic Guide p. 16).
Even better results can be obtained
by placing the camera on a stable
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.
Subject is out of focal
range.
zShoot with the subject at the correct
shooting distance (p. 129).
The subject is hard to
focus on.

shoot (p. 47).
