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 45).

 

 

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

 

 

27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject (see page 31).

 

 

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 29).

 

 

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

 

 

setting may cause grainy pictures (see page 30).

 

Picture is too dark

Reposition the camera for more available light.

 

 

Use Fill flash (see page 8) in Program mode, Backlight in SCN mode,

 

or change your position so light is not behind the subject.

 

 

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

 

effective flash range. (See Specifications, page 43.)

 

 

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 30).

 

Picture is too light

Reposition the camera to reduce the amount of available light.

 

 

Turn the flash off (see page 8).

 

 

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

 

effective flash range. (See Specifications, page 43.)

 

 

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 30).
