A long delay
occurs
between the
time I press
the Shutter
button and
the camera
takes a
picture.
The camera is
in Self-Timer or
Video mode.
Switch to Still mode.
The camera
needs time to
lock focus and
exposure.
Use Focus Lock. (See Using focus
lock on page 26.)
The camera is
taking a long
exposure.
Use a tripod or the pop-up flash.
My image is
blurry.
The camera
was set to
Normal focus
when it should
have been set
to Macro focus,
or vice versa.
Set the camera to Macro focus or
to Normal focus, and try taking
the picture again. (See Using the
focus settings on page 27.)
You moved the
camera while
you took the
picture.
Hold the camera steady as you
press the Shutter button or use a
tripod.
The light is low
and the flash is
turned off.
In dim light, the camera requires
a longer exposure. Use a tripod
to hold the camera steady,
improve lighting conditions, or
use the flash.
The camera
focused on the
wrong thing, or
was unable to
focus.
Use Focus Lock. (See Using focus
