is red and the
viewfinder
indicator lamp
is green and
blinking quick-
ly.
Subject is too close.
Make sure the subject is within
the autofocus range of 25cm
(0.8ft.) to infinity.
A special situation is pre-
venting the autofocus
system from focusing

Use the focus-lock function to
focus on an object at the same
distance as the subject (p. 24).
Pictures are
taken indoors
or in low-light
situations with-
out flash.
Slow shutter speeds
result in blurred images
when the camera is
hand-held.
Use a tripod or the built-in flash
(p. 26).
Only one pic-
ture can be
taken with
continuous
drive.
The image quality is set to super fine.
Change the image-quality set-
ting (p. 28).
While using
flash, the pic-
tures are too
dark.

wide-angle position - 0.25m ~ 3.2m (0.8 ft.
~ 10.5 ft.), telephoto position - 0.25m ~
2.5m (0.8 ft. ~ 8.2ft.)(p. 27).
