Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support 105
My image is
grainy.
The camera
was too warm
when the
picture was
taken. The
camera may
have been on
for a long time
or had been
stored in a hot
location.
This effect, which can happen on
all digital cameras, is probably
not noticeable in most images.
The effect will diminish as the
camera cools. For best image
quality, avoid storing the camera
in very hot locations. If the
camera is warm after using it for
a long time, consider turning off
the Image Display to minimize
heating. As with all electronic
devices, avoid leaving the camera
in very hot locations, such as the
dashboard of a car in the sun.
The ISO Speed
setting was too
high.
Use a lower ISO Speed setting
(see page 49).
The image
compression of
the Image
Quality setting
(3MP, 1MP, or
VGA) was too
high.
Use the 3MP Best Image Quality
setting, which has the lowest
image compression (see
page 45).
There was not
enough light.
z Wait for natural lighting
conditions to improve.
z Add indirect lighting.
z Use the flash (see page 36).
