The subject of your photo may have moved while the photo was taken. Have your subject remain still while taking a photo.

The digital camera may have moved while the photo was taken. Hold the camera steady while taking a photo, or use a tripod. There is a tripod mount on the bottom of the camera.

The photo may have been taken in dim light with the flash turned off. Either attach the camera to a tripod, or turn the flash on and set it to automatic flash.

If the camera has a macro (close-up) function, you may have left it on when taking a non-macro photo. Turn the macro function off.

The camera may be too close to the subject. Follow the recommended camera- to-subject distances specified in the User Manual.

The photo looks too dark:

Note: Some digital cameras do not have a flash.

There may not have been enough available light for the photo. If your camera offers exposure-value brightness compensation, set it to a higher numerical value. Also try turning the flash on to increase the amount of light.

A light source may have been behind your subject. Retake the photo with the light source behind your back or to your side. If you must shoot towards a light source, turn the flash on and set the flash to always fire (a setting usually called Forced Flash).

The subject may have been too far away from the flash. Make sure that the subject is within the optimal flash range described in your camera manual .

The photo looks too light:

Note: Some digital cameras do not have a flash.

There may have been too much light for the photo. If your camera offers exposure-value brightness compensation, set it to a lower numerical value. Also try turning the flash off to decrease the amount of light.

The flash may be set to always fire (a setting usually called Forced Flash) and the current lighting conditions may not require flash. For best results in most conditions, use the camera’s automatic flash setting.

A bright object or light may be in the photo. Turn the flash off or try taking the photo from a different angle to move the bright light out of the photo.

The subject may have been too close to the flash. Turn the flash off or take the photo from a greater distance.
