dark locations, the camera automatically reduces the image noise. This function is called NR (noise
reduction) slow shutter and the shooting time takes longer.
The image is out of focus.
• The subject is too close. When shooting, make sure to position the lens farther away from the subject
than the minimum shooting distances (approximately 5 cm (2 inches) (W)/90 cm (2 ft 11 3/8 inches)
(T) from the lens).
