Apple QuickTake 100 - Manual (Page 61)

Pictures are fuzzy, blurry, or blotchy
m The lens may be dirty. Clean the lens. (See “Caring for Your Camera,”
earlier in this chapter.)
m The subject or the camera may have moved. Hold the camera steady, and
use the flash. (See “Taking Pictures” and “Flash Settings” in Chapter 2.)
m The subject may be out of focal range. Keep a distance of at least four feet
between you and the subject. The flash illuminates subjects between four
and nine feet from the camera.
m The resolution setting may not be appropriate for the subject. Change to
high resolution. (See “Resolution Settings” in Chapter 2.)
Pictures are too dark (underexposed)
m There may not be enough light to take a picture. Turn on the flash. (See
“Flash Settings” in Chapter 2.)
m The subject may be too far away for the flash to have an effect. Make sure
the subject is no more than nine feet away. (See “Focal Range and Flash
Range” in Chapter 2.)
Pictures are too light (overexposed)
m If the camera is set to use flash with every picture, that may be too much
light. Change to automatic flash. (See “Flash Settings” in Chapter 2.)
m The subject may be too close. Make sure the subject is at least four feet
away. (See “Focal Range and Flash Range” in Chapter 2.)
m The camera may be pointed directly at a bright light. Try a different angle.
m The light sensors (above and below the viewfinder lens) may be dirty. Use
a soft, dry cloth to clean them. (To locate the light sensors, see “Your
Camera at a Glance” in Chapter 1.)
m One or both of the light sensors may be covered inadvertently. Be careful
not to obstruct the light sensors while you take pictures.
Part of a picture is missing
m Some part of the lens may be covered. Keep your hands, the neck strap,
and other objects away from the lens and the built-in flash.
