Solution
The lens is dirty.
Clean the lens as described in the
Maintenance section.
The subject or the camera
moved before the picture
was taken.
Hold the camera steady until after
you hear the shutter click.
The subject is too close.
Move so the subject is at least
2.3 feet (70 cm) away.
The subject is too far away
for the flash to be effective.
Move so the subject is less than
9 feet (270 cm) away.
The flash should have been
used but it did not go off.
Turn on the flash.
The exposure is not
appropriate for the lighting.
Adjust the exposure as described in
the

Solution
Something was in front of
the lens when the picture
was taken.

or other objects are not in front of the
