Symptom
The picture is out of
focus.
The picture is too dark.
The date has not been
printed (or looks faded).
Cause
The subject was closer than the
minimum working distance to the lens
(0.6 m/2 ft).
While using the self-timer, the shutter
release button was pressed while
standing right in front of the camera.
The Infinity mode is engaged.
A difficult subject for the autofocus to
lock on was shot. These subjects
include: glossy and reflective surfaces,
black objects, subjects behind glass or
wire mesh, flames and smoke,
excessively bright light within the
picture area.
The flash was blocked, such as by
a finger.
The subject was out of the working
range of the flash.
The flash mode was set to OFF.
The subject was backlit.
The date mode was set to
no data( - - - ).
There is a bright color like white,
orange, or yellow in the area of the
picture where the date is printed.
The picture was taken with
black-and-white film.
Remedy
Shoot from more than 0.6 m (2 ft)
away from the subject.
Do not stand in front of the camera.
Press the shutter release button while
looking through the viewfinder.
Cancel the Infinity mode.
Shoot distant subjects in the Infinity
mode. When the subject is near, first
focus on an object at the same distance
as the desired subject in the Spot mode.
Then aim at the desired subject and
release the shutter.
Hold the camera correctly, keeping your
fingers clear of the flash.
Shoot within the flash working range.
Check the flash mode before shooting.
Set the flash mode to FILL-IN.
Change the date mode to another
setting.
Avoid bright colors in the lower right
corner of your photo compositions.
Do not use black-and-white film.
