The focus range varies depending on the Recording Mode.

There is camera shake (jitter) or the subject is moving slightly. (P21)
> The shutter speed becomes slower when pictures are taken in dark places so hold the
camera firmly with both hands to take the pictures. (P21)
> When taking pictures at a slow shutter speed, use the Self-timer. (P53)
Is the ISO sensitivity high or the shutter speed slow?
(ISO sensitivity is set to [ ] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures
indoors etc. noise will appear.)
> Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P65)
> Take pictures in bright places.
Have you set [High Sens.] in Scene Mode, or [Burst] in [Rec] menu to [ ] or [ ]? If so, the
resolution of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but
this is not a malfunction.
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
The subject is not focused properly.
The recorded picture is blurred. The Optical Image Stabilizer is not effective.
The recorded picture looks rough. Noise appears on the picture.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual
scene.
When recording pictures or half-pressing the shutter button, reddish stripes may
appear on the LCD monitor. Alternatively, part or all of the LCD monitor may turn
a reddish color.
This is a characteristic of CCDs, and it appears when the subject has a
bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but
this is not a malfunction.
It is recorded in motion pictures but is not recorded on still pictures.
It is recommended that when you take pictures you take care not to
expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.
