If you have problems The image is out of focus. ••The subject is too close. Check the minimum focal distance of the lens. ••[Focus Mode] has been set to [Manual Focus]. Set [Focus Mode] to a setting other than [Manual Focus] (page 51). ••Ambient light is insufficient. The image is whitish (Flare). Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting). ••When pointing the lens toward the strong light source, excessive light enters the lens and the image may come out white (flare) or extraneous light (ghost images) may appear on the image, but this is not a malfunction. When using the zoom lens, attach the lens hood. Set up the composition so that you shoot images while avoiding backlit condition. The corners of the picture are too dark. ••If any filter or hood is used, take it off and try shooting again. Depending on the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the hood, the filter or the hood may partially appear in the image. The optical properties of some lenses may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient light). You may compensate for this phenomenon with [Shading Comp.] (page 206). The eyes of the subject come out red. ••Set [Red Eye Reduction] to [On] (page 209). ••Shoot the subject at a distance closer than the flash range using the flash. GB 229
