Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded Image
Usually the recorded
image contains more of
the scene than is seen in
the viewfinder. zConfirm the actual image size with
the LCD monitor. As there can be a
noticeable difference, use the LCD
monitor when in macro and super
macro mode (p. 15).
Image is blurred or out of focus.
AF-assist Beam is set to
[Off]. zIn dark places where it is difficult for
the camera to focus, the AF-assist
Beam will emit to assist focusing. As
the AF-assist Beam will not function
when turned off, set it [On] to activate it
(p. 24). Take care not to obstruct the
AF-assist Beam with your hand when
used.
The camera moves when
the shutter button is
pressed. zSetting the self-timer to (2
seconds) delays the shutter release
for 2 seconds and allows the camera
to stop shaking, thus preventing a
blurred image (p. 35).
Even better results can be obtained
by placing the camera on a stable
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.
Subject is out of focal
range. zShoot with the subject at the correct
shooting distance (p. 96).
zUse the Infinity mode to shoot
distant subjects (Basic Guide p. 9).
The subject is hard to
focus on. zUse the focus lock to shoot (p. 47).
