Part of a Picture Is Missing
Cause Solution
Something was in front of
the lens when the picture
was taken.
Make sure that your hands and other
objects are not in front of the lens or
the flash.
Picture Is Not Clear
Cause Solution
The lens is dirty. Clean the lens as described in
the “Cleaning the Lens” section of
Chapter 6.
The subject or the camera
moved before the picture
was taken.
Hold the camera steady until after you
hear the shutter click.
The subject was too close. Move so the subject is at least four
feet away OR use an adapter lens.
The subject was too far
away for the flash to be
effective.
Move so the subject is less than nine
feet away.
The flash should have
been used but was not.
Turn on the flash.
The exposure is not
appropriate for the lighting.
Adjust the exposure as described in
the “Setting the Exposure” section of
Chapter 2.
