Troubleshooting
Picture quality problems
Computer does not
communicate with
the camera
■ Make sure the battery is charged and installed correctly (see
page 1).
■ Turn on the camera.
■ Make sure the USB cable model U-8 is connected to the camera
and the computer. (Use a USB / A/V adapter. See page 46.) (If
using an EasyShare dock, check all cable connections. Make sure
the camera is seated on the dock.)
■ Make sure EasyShare software is installed (see page 45).
Status Solution
Picture is not clear
■ To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button
halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter
button completely down to take the picture.
■ Clean the lens (see page 58).
■ Make sure the camera is not in Macro mode if you are more than
27.6 in. (70 cm) from your subject.
■ Place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod (especially
in high-zoom settings or in low light).
Picture is too dark
■ Reposition the camera for more available light.
■ Use Fill flash (see page 9) or change your position so light is not
behind the subject.
■ Move so that the distance between you and the subject is within the
effective flash range. (See camera specifications starting on
page 56.)
■ To automatically set exposure and focus, press the Shutter button
halfway. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter
button completely down to take the picture.
