make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page
35) or use lights for illumination.

which can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or
some other means to illuminate the subject.

batteries (alkaline) or charge batteries (Ni-MH) as soon as
possible.
2)You may have removed the memory card from the camera
before the save operation was complete, which will result in
the image not being saved. Do not remove the memory card
before the save operation is complete.
