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

Make sure the camera is not in Macro mode if you are more than

 

 

 

 

 

27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject.

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

in high-zoom settings or in low light).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Picture is too dark

Reposition the camera for more available light.

 

 

 

 

Use Fill flash (see page 9) or change your position so light is not
