1
Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight.
Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than 1 m/3 ft) to
people or animals. If you use the flash too close to your subject’s
eyes, this can cause temporary or permanent eyesight damage.
Keep your camera away from small children and pets.
Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small
children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious
injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present
physical dangers as well.

pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by
the manufacturer and the independent research group, Wireless
Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your
camera is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device,
turn off the camera immediately and contact the manufacturer of
the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Caution—situations that could cause damage to your camera
or other equipment
Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an
extended period of time.

Basic troubleshooting
Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
Photos have dust
spots.
Photos are blurred.
Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
Red eye occurs when the subject's eyes reflect light from the camera flash.
•
Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 66)
•
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 101)
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.
•
Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 68)
Blurring can occur if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly.
Use the OIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 36)
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to hold the
camera steady long enough to capture a clear photo and may result in camera shake.
•
Turn on the flash. (p. 66)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 68)
•
Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark
areas, the subject may appear too dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Select Backlight in Scene mode. (p. 44)
•
Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 66)
•
Adjust the exposure. (p. 77)
•
Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 78)

example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color
to the background)
-
the light source behind the subject is too bright
-
the subject is shiny or reflective
-
the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds
-
the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame
Using the focus lock
Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus,
you can reposition the frame to change the composition.
When you are ready, press [Shutter] to capture your photo.
•
When you capture photos in low light
•
When subjects are moving rapidly

the scene to end. To capture the entire scene, move your camera
slightly beyond the point where you want the scene to end.
•
In 3D Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the very
beginning or end of a scene due to the nature of the 3D effect.
To capture the entire scene, move slightly beyond the beginning
