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 59

).

Make sure the camera is not in Macro mode (

see page 17

).

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 40

).

If you’re manually adjusting the ISO speed, realize that high ISO
setting may cause grainy pictures.
