Solution

Picture is not clear

To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button

 

halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter

 

button completely down to take the picture.

 

Clean the lens (see page 51).

 

Place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod (especially

 

in high-zoom settings or in low light).

 

Use a larger picture size (see page 39).

 

If you’re manually adjusting the ISO speed, realize that a high ISO

 

setting may cause grainy pictures (see page 16).

 

 

Picture is too dark

Reposition the camera for more available light.

 

Use Fill flash (see page 13) in Program mode, change your position

 

so light is not behind the subject, or use the Backlight SCN mode.

 

Move so that the distance between you and the subject is within the

 

effective flash range. (See Specifications starting on page 49.)

 

To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button

 

halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter

 

button completely down to take the picture.

 

In Program mode, increase the Exposure Compensation (see

 

page 16).

 

 

Picture is too light

Reposition the camera to reduce the amount of available light.

 

Turn the flash off (see page 13).

To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.

In Program mode, decrease the Exposure Compensation (see page 16).
