Subject is too close.

A special situation is preventing the autofocus system from focusing (p. 29).

Slow shutter speeds result in blurred images when the camera is hand-held.

Unlock the memory card using the write-protect switch (p. 16).

Make sure the subject is within the autofocus range (p. 26).

Use the focus-lock function to focus on an object at the same distance as the subject (p. 28).

Use a tripod, or use the flash (p. 31).

While using flash, the pictures are too dark.

Subject appears too far to the right in the image.

The subject is beyond the flash range (p. 32).

Viewfinder was used for framing. Parallax is apparent with subjects closer than 1m (3ft.) at the zoom’s wide-angle position or 3m (10ft) at the telephoto position.

Move closer to the subject.

Only use the LCD monitor for framing with close subjects.
