•Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Hold the camera steadily with both hands.

•If the lens or flash is obscured by your fingers or the strap, subjects may be out of focus or the brightness (exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.

•Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty (getting fingerprints on the lens etc.), clean the lens as informed on separate note.
