Appendix 4: Troubleshooting (continued) Pictures unsatisfactory Pictures blurred, out of focus, not sharp. Problem Solution Subject difficult to focus? Autofocus may not operate correctly for some subjects. Follow the suggestions described in "Difficult to focus subjects". Did you release the shutter button and move the camera? If you move the camera while pressing down the shutter button, the picture may be blurred. This is called camera shake. Hold the camera steady with both hands with your elbows at your side and make sure your fingers are down and grasping the camera. Practice holding the camera correctly. Is the subject you want to shoot off center from the AF target mark? For autofocusing to work correctly you must use the AF target mark. Position the subject you want to focus in the center of the viewfinder, or use auto lock focus. Is the lens dirty? Always store the camera in its case when it is not in use. Clean the lens. Is the macro setting correct? If you are within 20~60 cm (0.7~2 ft.) from the subject, the macro mark should be displayed in the control panel. If you are farther than 60 cm (2 ft.) from the subject neither the macro mark nor the conversion lens mark should be displayed. If the conversion lens is attached to the camera, only the conversion lens mark should be displayed. Did you stand in front of the camera when you pressed the shutter button with the camera in the self-timer mode? If you stand in front of the camera and press the shutter button, the camera will focus on you. Compose the picture by looking through the viewfinder and then press the shutter button. Is the flash mark flashing in the viewfinder? This is the flash warning telling you that there is not enough light on the subject to shoot the picture without the flash. Use the flash.
