5. Why do the images on my LCD appear blurry?
Your camera comes with a protective film that covers the LCD. If this film is
not peeled off, images will appear blurry and foggy on the LCD. Please
make sure this film has been removed.
If you continue to see blurry images on the LCD, it may be that the camera
was moved during picture taking or the subject was out of the defined focus
range. Please hold the camera steady while taking pictures and make sure
there is at least 1 m (3.25 ft.) between the camera and the subject. When
using the macro mode feature, the distance between the camera and the
subject is 20 cm (7.9 in.).
Make sure the lens of the camera is clean. Please use a blower to remove
dirt and dust. Do not wipe the camera lens with chemically treated
eyeglass lens tissues as it may scratch the surface. If further cleaning is
needed, dampen a soft, lint free cloth with a small amount of cleaner,
available from retailers of related products. The blower pictured below can
be purchased at specialty photography stores.
