).

Make sure the external device settings are correct. (See the

Solution

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 57

).

Make sure the camera is not in Macro mode if you are more than
27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject.

Place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod (especially
in high-zoom settings or in low light).

Picture is too dark

Reposition the camera for more available light.

Use Fill flash (see

page 9

) 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 55

.)

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.
