Picture quality problems
Slide Show does not
run on an external

Adjust the camera Video Out setting to NTSC or PAL (see
page 32).
Make sure the external device settings are correct. (See the
device’s user’s guide).

Make sure the battery is charged and installed correctly (see
page 1).
Turn on the camera.
Make sure the USB cable model U-8 is connected to the camera
and the computer (see page 45). (If using an EasyShare dock,
check all cable connections. Make sure the camera is seated on

Make sure EasyShare software is installed (see page 44).
Status Solution
Picture is not clear
To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button
halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter
button completely down to take the picture.
Clean the lens (see page 57).
Make sure the camera is not in Macro mode if you are more than
27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject.
Place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod (especially
in high-zoom settings or in low light).
Picture is too dark
Reposition the camera for more available light.
Use Fill flash (see page 9) or change your position so light is not
behind the subject.
Move so that the distance between you and the subject is within the
effective flash range. (See camera specifications starting on
page 55.)
To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button
halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter
button completely down to take the picture.
