fire.

?
(Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to
another mode (page 38).
2)If the battery is dead, charge it (page 15).

The monitor screen
image is out of
focus.
1)You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the
image. Focus the image (page 58).
2)You may be using
´
(Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use
Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 57).

up shot. Use the
´

There is a vertical
line in the monitor
screen image.
Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is
recorded in the case of a movie.
There is digital
noise in images.
1)Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with
?
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page
38) or use lights for illumination.
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
