Troubleshooting
Pictures are not
sharp.
Focus signal is
blinking.
Subject is too close.
Make sure the subject is within the
focus range of the lens.
A special situation is
preventing the autofocus
system from
focusing (p. 29)
Use the focus-lock function to
focus on an object at the same
distance as the subject (p. 30) or
use manual focus (p. 52).
Pictures are
taken indoors or
in low-light
situations without
flash.
Slow shutter speeds result in
blurred images when the
camera is hand-held.
Use Anti-shake or a tripod, change
the camera sensitivity to a higher
setting (p. 51), or use the flash (p.
31).
While using
flash, the
pictures are too
dark.
The subject is beyond the
flash range (p. 51).
Move closer to the subject or
change the camera sensitivity to a
