bent shortly after it was ejected from
the camera.

other surface.

handle print gently; hold it only by its
wide white border, and do not wave or

Subject too dark
Cause
Solution
Camera’s photocell measured the bright
window light, causing the subject to be
too dark.
Reposition subject away from the bright
background.
When a bright source of light (lamplight,
candlelight, etc.) is in the central part of
the scene and in front of the subject, the
camera’s photocell will measure the
bright light, causing the subject to be
too dark.
Move the source of light to one side of
your subject so it is not in the central
part of the scene.
