The picture is blurred.
Possible cause
The camera moved when
the shutter button was
pressed.
ISO is set to auto in a dark
environment.
RELEASE PRIORITY S or
RELEASE PRIORITY C is
set to ON.
The focus mode is set to
MF.
Corrective action
Camera vibrations will result in a blurred picture.
Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter
button gently. When a telephoto lens is used,
special care is needed.
The camera is more likely to move with slower
shutter speeds. Use the flash or set a higher ISO
sensitivity. The use of a tripod is also
recommended.
The RELEASE PRIORITY S & RELEASE
PRIORITY C functions on this camera allow you
to release the shutter at exactly the right moment.
However, when RELEASE PRIORITY S or
RELEASE PRIORITY C is set to ON, the shutter
will be released even if the subject is not in focus.
Make sure that RELEASE PRIORITY S or
RELEASE PRIORITY C is set to OFF or the AF
confirmation mark lights on the viewfinder before
pressing the button all the way.
Take the picture at the point where the AF correct
mark lights up when you are turning the focus ring.
Or set the focus mode to the AF mode with the
focus mode lever set to S or C.

*Condensation: When it is cold outside, the water vapor in the air is rapidly cooled and turns to droplets of water.
Condensation occurs when the camera is suddenly taken from a cold place into a warm room.
