Pictures appear 
smeared.

Lens is dirty. Clean lens.

Colors are unnatural.

bright pixels (“noise”) 
appear in image.

The subject is dark, so shutter speed is too slow or ISO 
sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by:
• Use flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
• Using a scene mode which has noise reduction ability.

Pictures are too dark 
(underexposed).

• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Use high sensitivity mode, or raise the ISO sensitivity.
