monitor when in macro and super
macro mode (p. 15).
Image is blurred or out of focus.
AF-assist Beam is set to
[Off].
zIn dark places where it is difficult for
the camera to focus, the AF-assist
Beam will emit to assist focusing. As
the AF-assist Beam will not function
when turned off, set it [On] to activate it
(p. 24). Take care not to obstruct the
AF-assist Beam with your hand when
used.
The camera moves when
the shutter button is

preventing a blurred image (p. 35).
Even better results can be obtained
by placing the camera on a stable
surface or by using a tripod to shoot.

range.

shooting distance (p. 96).
