Adjusting the focus
Turn the focus dial to optimize the image of your
subject appearing on the LCD screen of the main
unit.
Tips on taking pictures
• If you take a picture in a dark environment, its
image may look coarse, but this is not a failure.
• When you press the shutter release button, the
image you shot stays still on the LCD screen
for a while until its save is completed, when
the screen is restored, allowing you take the
next picture.
• If you sway the main unit up and down or to left
and right, the display may look jerky as if a video
is fed frame by frame, but this is not a failure.
• Aiming the lens at the CRT tube of a TV receiver
or the display monitor of a computer will display
horizontal streaks on the LCD screen. Similar
streaks will also appear in the image you shot,
but this is not a failure.
• Close-up images may look distorted in their
peripheral area like a barrel due to the
characteristics of the lens, but this is not a
failure.
• Particularly bright parts of a subject, such as
the filament of an incandescent lamp, may look
dark, but this is not a failure.
• If you shoot a moving subject, it may look
distorted in form, but this is not a failure.
Caution
Do not force the dial to turn. Turning the dial past
its range of rotation can result in failure.
Memo
Take close-up pictures (about 6 cm apart) with
the focus dial turned to the ( ) mark. Check the
LCD screen of the main unit to make sure that
your subject is in focus.
