20 Troubleshooting
Blurry picture
Cause
•When subject is not centered in the picture, the sound waves pass by the subject and measure the distance to the background.This causes the subject to be unsharp because the lens focuses on the background.
Solution
•Center subject in the picture.
Cause
•Object in foreground prevented sound waves from measuring cor- rectly. Lens focuses on object, causing unclear and possibly dark subject.
Solution
•The sound waves travel to the cen- tral part of the scene. Be sure there aren’t any objects in front of your subject.
Cause
•Camera movement can cause the picture to be blurry. When a picture is taken in low light (at dusk, in the shade, etc.), the shut- ter can stay open for as long as 2.8 seconds.
Solution
•Hold camera steady as you take a picture, or place the camera on a tripod.
