Troubleshooting
In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static
electricity. This can be remedied by taking the batteries out and putting
them back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the
batteries out and put them back in again. Then, turn the power on. The
mirror will retract. After these procedures are done, if the camera operates
correctly, it does not require any repairs.
We recommend checking the following items before contacting a service
center.

The subject is
difficult to focus on
Autofocus cannot focus well on subjects
that have low contrast (the sky, white walls,
etc.), dark colors, intricate designs, rapidly-
moving objects or scenery shot through a
window or a net-like pattern. Lock focus on
another object located at the same distance
as your subject, then aim at the target and
press the shutter release button fully.
Alternatively, use manual focus. (p.121)
