13 Troubleshooting • Troubleshooting 1.If the LCD image is not clear when shooting, how can the focus be adjusted? Make sure the subject is within the focus range; Normal mode is at least 30 cm (11.8 inches) away from the lens. In the Macro mode, the subject needs to be between 1 to 30 cm (0.39 to 11.8 inches) away. Make sure the camera is not in the Marco mode if your subject is within the normal focus range. If it is on, you will see the Macro [ ] on the lower right side of the LCD display.
5.Why is camera Flash not active when taking pictures? Make sure that the focus range is NOT set in the Macro mode; the flash is disable in this mode. Scroll through Photo modes and set Flash to Auto. In Auto mode camera flash fires ONLY when necessary (in dark setting as example). 6.Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark? In these photo capture conditions, the camera’s shutter time is much longer, therefore you may need to turn on the flash and/or use a tripod.
