Problem
A blinking
green light
appears next
to the
viewfinder
when I press
the
SHUTTER
button
halfway
down.
I cannot
delete an
image.
Troubleshooting
Possible cause
The camera cannot
find a focus because
you are too close to
the subject.
The camera cannot
find a focus because
the subject does not
provide enough
contrast for the
automatic focus
system.
There is not enough
light to illuminate
your subject.
The image is locked.
Solution
Try a different angle or change the
lighting on your subject. You can also
use focus lock to set the focus on a
different subject.
The camera's automatic focus range is
60 cm (23.7 inches) to infinity and
focuses on the object in the center of the
frame. Make sure you are not too close
to the subject and that you have placed
the subject in the middle of the frame.
If you are trying to take a picture of a
subject that is 20 cm to 60 cm
(7.9 inches to 23.7 inches) away from
you, use the macro focus setting. For
more information, see "Using the macro
focus setting" on page 10.
Try a different angle or change the
lighting on your subject. You can also
use focus lock to set the focus on a
different subject. For more information,
see "Using focus lock" on page 9.
Try the following solutions:
• Use the flash.
• Wait for lighting conditions to
improve or turn on the lights in the
room.
• Use a tripod to steady the camera
for the longer exposure.
Unlock the image. For more information,
see "Locking your images" on page 20.
