Image is blurred or out of focus. AF-assist Beam is set to [Off]. In 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. 28). Take care not to obstruct the AF-assist Beam with your hand when used. The camera moves when the shutter button is pressed. Setting 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. 39). 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. Shoot with the subject at the correct shooting distance (p. 113). The subject is hard to focus on. Use the focus lock or AF lock to shoot (p. 46). Subject in recorded image is too dark. Insufficient light for shooting. Set the flash to (flash on) (Basic Guide p. 9). Subject is dark in contrast to the background. Set the exposure compensation to a positive (+) setting (p. 50). Use AE lock or use the spot metering function (pp. 47, 49). Subject is too far away for flash to reach. Shoot within correct shooting distance of the subject when using the built-in flash (p. 114). Raise the ISO speed and then shoot (p. 63). 96
