A special situation is pre-
venting the autofocus
system from focusing (p.
35) Use the focus-lock function to
focus on an object at the same
distance as the subject (p. 34)
or use manual focus (p. 46).
Pictures are
taken indoors
or in low-light
situations with-
out flash.
Slow shutter speeds
result in blurred images
when the camera is
hand-held. Use Anti-shake or a tripod,
change the camera sensitivity
to a higher setting (p. 74), or
use the flash (p. 36).
While using
flash, the pic-
tures are too
dark.
The subject is beyond the flash range (p.

Move closer to the subject or
change the camera sensitivity
