Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture
(camera shake). Use a tripod to prevent camera shake,
particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash
mode is Suppressed flash.

There may be some uneven brightness at the lower edge of
the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the
photographed image.

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do
not cover the lens and flash. If the lens or flash is
obscured by your fingers or the strap, subjects may
be out of focus or the brightness (exposure) of your
shot may be incorrect.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as
informed on P.100.

If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,
white dots may appear in the image due to flash reflecting off
the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash mode
(
