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 46).

 

 

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

 

 

27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject (see page 30).

 

 

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 28).

 

 

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

 

 

setting may cause grainy pictures (see page 29).

 

Picture is too dark

Reposition the camera for more available light.

 

 

Use Fill flash (see page 8) 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 Camera Specifications starting on

 

 

page 44.)

 

 

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, adjust the Exposure Compensation (see page 29).
