My image is
blurry.
Your subject was too
close to the camera
lens.
The camera’s automatic focus range is
60 cm (23.7 inches) from the front of the
lens to infinity. For a clear, sharp image,
make sure your subject is within this
range.
The camera did not
have time to set the
automatic focus and
automatic exposure.
Make sure you press the
SHUTTER button
halfway down and hold it until the green
viewfinder light comes on. This means
that automatic focus and automatic
exposure are complete. Then you can
press the
SHUTTER button all the way
down to take your picture.
The subject wasn’t
centered in the
frame, or the subject
did not provide
enough contrast for
the camera to focus
properly.
If you do not want your subject in the
middle of the image, or if the subject
lacks contrast, use focus lock to set the
camera’s automatic focus using a
different subject. For more information,
see “Using focus lock” on page 9.
The subject moved
while you took the
picture.
If you are photographing a moving
object, try using focus lock.
You moved the
camera while you
took the picture.
Hold the camera steady as you press
the
SHUTTER button, or use a tripod.
My image is
too dark.
The ambient light
was insufficient.
Wait for natural lighting conditions to
improve, add indirect lighting, or use the
flash to illuminate your subject.
The flash was on,
but the subject was
too far away.
The flash can only illuminate objects that
are within 3.7 m (about 12 feet) of the
camera. Make sure your subject is within
range of the flash when you take the
picture.
Your finger blocked
the flash.
Be sure to move your fingers away from
the flash when you are ready to take a
picture.
