(camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake,
particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash
mode is Suppressed flash.

!
There may be some unevenness in the brightness at the
lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not
affect the image.
Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do
not cover the lens or flash. If the lens or flash is
obscured, the brightness (exposure) of your shot
may be incorrect.
●
!
Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as
described on P.74.
●
!
If the flash is used in very dusty conditions or when it is
snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to flash
reflecting off dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed
flash mode.
