Problem The subject is out of focus in the recorded image. The flash does not fire. Camera powers down during self-timer countdown. The monitor screen image is out of focus. There is a vertical line on the monitor screen. There is digital noise in images. Possible Causes and Action The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame. 1) If " " (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 76). 2) If the battery is dead, charge it (page 37). 3) If a BEST SHOT scene that uses the " " (Flash Off) flash mode is selected, change to a different flash mode (page 76) or select a different BEST SHOT scene (page 108). The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 37). 1) You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the image. Focus the image (page 135). 2) You may be using the macro mode for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 128). 3) You may be trying to use Auto Focus or the Infinity mode when shooting a close-up shot. Use the Macro mode for close ups (page 129). Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD phenomenon known as "vertical smear", and does not indicate malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is recorded in the case of a movie. 1) Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject. 2) You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location while " " (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, change to a different flash mode (page 76) or use lights for illumination. 3) Flash assist or dynamic range may be enabled for snapshots, which can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject. C 276 APPENDIX
