Troubleshooting The picture is out of focus. Possible cause The camera moved when the shutter button was pressed. The subject was too close. The flash was set to the flash off mode in a lighting condition requiring use of the flash. Corrective action Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently. Position the camera more than 0.2 m/0.7 ft from the subject and take the picture. To take pictures closer than 0.2 m/0.7 ft, use the super macro mode. Camera movement occurs easily with slower shutter speeds. Use a tripod, or hold the camera firmly. Ref. Page P.39 P.107, 108 P.79 Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture. Possible cause Corrective action This may be caused by excessively bright ultraviolet light on the subject, such as sunlight shining through the leaves of trees, window frames in bright light at night, reflection of metal in direct sunlight, etc. • Use a UV filter. As this may upset the overall color balance, it should only be used in the conditions described on the left. • Process the picture using a graphics application that supports JPEG (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.). For example, after picking up unnatural colors with a syringe tool, etc. you can select color areas, and try color conversion or saturation adjustment. For details, refer to the manual for the graphics application you are using. Ref. Page - 11 Miscellaneous 212
