Problem Possible Cause and Recommended Action The subject is out of focus in the recorded image. The image may not be focused properly. When composing the image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame. The flash does not fire. 1)If (Forced Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to another mode (page 35). 2)If the battery is dead, charge it (page 12). 3)If a Scene Mode scene that uses (Forced Off) is selected, change to a different flash mode (page 35) or select a different Scene Mode scene (page 45). The red (Forced Off) icon is displayed on the monitor screen and the flash does not fire. The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact your original retailer. Note that though the flash will not fire, you still can use the camera for non-flash shots. Camera powers down during Selftimer countdown. The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 12). The monitor screen image is out of focus. 1)You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the image. Focus the image (page 50). 2)You may be using (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 49). 3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus when shooting a closeup shot. Use the (Macro) for close ups (page 49). There is a vertical line in the monitor screen image. 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. There is digital noise in images. 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 with (Forced Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page 35) or use lights for illumination. 3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other means to illuminate the subject. 105
