480, you
may notice this phenomenon. Slowing down the
acceleration on your video card may solve this problem:
Click
Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,
then double-click
System Properties. On the
Performance tab, click the
Graphics button. Select a
slower acceleration and click
OK. See your Microsoft
Windows documentation or online Help for more
information.
The colors in your picture don’t look right.
◗ When you take pictures under certain artificial lighting
conditions, the colors may be slightly distorted. You can
use your Image Expert software to adjust the colors, as
described on page 5-3.
Your picture is blurry or out of focus.
◗ Make sure your subject is within the camera’s range. You
should be at least 31 inches away to take a picture
without the flash, and 31 inches to 8 feet away to take a
picture with the flash. You can take a picture as close as
8 inches in macro mode.
◗ When you take macro close-ups, make sure you have
adequate lighting (with the flash disabled). Using a
tripod will help you capture sharp pictures.
◗ Make sure you hold the camera steady after you press
the shutter button (until the red light starts to flash), and
your subject isn’t moving. If you are shaking the camera
when you lock the focus, a warning icon appears in the
right corner of the LCD.
◗ If you want to photograph a moving subject, you can
change the shutter speed while the camera is connected
to your computer. Try increasing the shutter speed. For
more information, see Chapter 6.
◗ Make sure your flash is not set to flash off.
