Problem A blinking green light appears next to the viewfinder when I press the SHUTTER button halfway down. I cannot delete an image. Possible cause Solution The camera cannot find a focus because you are too close to the subject. Try a different angle or change the lighting on your subject. You can also use focus lock to set the focus on a different subject. The camera's automatic focus range is 60 cm (23.7 inches) to infinity and focuses on the object in the center of the frame. Make sure you are not too close to the subject and that you have placed the subject in the middle of the frame. The camera cannot find a focus because the subject does not provide enough contrast for the automatic focus system. There is not enough light to illuminate your subject. If you are trying to take a picture of a subject that is 20 cm to 60 cm (7.9 inches to 23.7 inches) away from you, use the macro focus setting. For more information, see "Using the macro focus setting" on page 10. Try a different angle or change the lighting on your subject. You can also use focus lock to set the focus on a different subject. For more information, see "Using focus lock" on page 9. Try the following solutions: • Use the flash. • Wait for lighting conditions to improve or turn on the lights in the room. • Use a tripod to steady the camera for the longer exposure. The image is locked. Unlock the image. For more information, see "Locking your images" on page 20. Troubleshooting 53
