Press the shutter button halfway to focus, then shoot (p. 25).

Shoot the subject within the focusing distance (p. 157).

Set the [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 134).

Confirm that functions which you do not intend to use (macro, etc.) are not set.

Shoot using the focus lock or AF lock (pp. 78, 82).

Even when you press the shutter button halfway, the frame does not appear, and the camera does not focus.

If you center on the light and dark contrasting area of the subject and press the shutter button halfway, or repeatedly press the shutter button halfway, the frame will appear and the camera will focus.

Subject is too dark.

Set the flash to h (p. 68).

Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 72).

Adjust the brightness with the i-Contrast function (pp. 87, 122).

Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (p. 85).

Subject is too bright (overexposed).

Set the flash to ! (p. 60).

Adjust the brightness with exposure compensation (p. 72).

Use the AE lock, or spot metering to shoot (p. 85).

The subject is too bright due to ambient lighting.

Image is dark even though the flash fired (p. 28).

Increase the ISO speed (p. 73).

Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 68).

Image taken using the flash is too bright (overexposed).

Shoot within an appropriate distance for flash photography (p. 68).

Image appears rough or grainy.

Shoot with the ISO speed on a lower setting (p. 73).

Depending on the shooting mode, when shooting in a high ISO speed the image may appear rough or grainy (p. 59).

Eyes appear red (p. 88).

Set the [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 134). When shooting with the flash, the lamp (on the front of the camera) lights (p. 42), and for approximately 1 second while the camera is reducing red-eye, it is not possible to shoot. It is more effective if the subject is looking directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
