Problem Symptom

Focus signal is red.

Pictures are not sharp.

Pictures are taken indoors or in low-light situations without flash.

Cause

Subject is too close.

A special situation is pre- venting the autofocus sys- tem from focusing (p. 31).

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

Solution

Make sure the subject is within the autofocus range (p. 30).

Use the focus-lock function to focus on an object at the same distance as the subject (p. 30).

Use a tripod, change the camera sensitivity to a higher setting (p. 52), or use the flash (p. 32).

Move closer to the subject or change the camera sensitivity to a higher setting (p. 52).

Use only the LCD monitor for framing with close subjects.

When using the viewfinder, take care not to cover the lens.

If the camera does not function normally, turn it off, remove and reinsert the battery, or unplug and reconnect the AC adapter set. Always turn the camera off using the main switch otherwise the memory card may be damaged and camera settings reset.
