Image seen in viewfinder vs. recorded image
Usually the recorded
image contains more of
the scene than is seen in
the viewfinder.
Confirm the actual image size with
the LCD monitor. Use the LCD
monitor when taking close-up shots.
Image is blurred or out of focus.
AF-assist Beam is set to
[Off].
In dark places where it is difficult for
the camera to focus, the AF-assist
Beam will emit to assist focusing. As
the AF-assist Beam will not function
when turned off, set it [On] to activate it
. Take care not to obstruct the
AF-assist Beam with your hand when
used.
The camera moves when
the shutter button is
pressed.
Set IS mode to a setting other than
[Off]
Setting the self-timer to
(2
seconds) delays the shutter release
for 2 seconds and allows the camera
to stop shaking, thus preventing a
blurred image (Basic Guide p. 16).
Even better results can be obtained
by placing the camera on a stable
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.
