The subject is out
of focus in the
recorded image. The image may not be focused properly. When composing the
image, make sure the subject is located inside the focus frame.
The flash does not
fire. 1)If ? (Flash Off) is selected as the flash mode, change to
another mode (page 38).
2)If the battery is dead, charge it (page 14).
3)If a BEST SHOT scene that uses ? (Flash Off) is selected,
change to a different flash mode (page 38) or select a
different BEST SHOT scene (page 51).
The red ? (Flash
Off) icon is
displayed on the
monitor screen and
the flash does not
fire. The flash unit may be malfunctioning. Contact a CASIO
authorized service center or your original retailer. Note that
though the flash will not fire, you still can use the camera for
non-flash shots.
Camera powers
down during Self-
timer countdown. The battery may be dead. Charge the battery (page 14).
The monitor screen
image is out of
focus. 1)You may be using Manual Focus and have not focused the
image. Focus the image (page 57).
2)You may be using ´ (Macro) for scenery or portraits. Use
Auto Focus for scenery and portrait shots (page 56).
3)You may be trying to use Auto Focus or ) (Infinity) when
shooting a close-up shot. Use the ´ (Macro) for close ups
(page 56).
There is a vertical
line in the monitor
screen image. Shooting a very brightly lit subject can cause a vertical band to
appear in the monitor screen image. This is a CCD
phenomenon known as “vertical smear”, and does not indicate
malfunction of the camera. Note that vertical smear is not
recorded with the image in the case of a snapshot, but it is
recorded in the case of a movie.
There is digital
noise in images. 1)Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with ?
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page
38) or use lights for illumination.
3)Shooting with a high ISO sensitivity setting or with the
Lighting feature can cause an increase in digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
