      If your Canon Digital Camera photos are blurry, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you're holding the camera steady while pressing the shutter button. Make sure that nothing is blocking the AF-assist Beam. Also, confirm that your subject is within the focal range—at least 10 cm (3.9 in.) away, or between 3 and 10 cm (1.2 to 3.9 in.) if using Macro mode.

      If subjects in your Canon Digital Camera images appear too dark, it could be due to insufficient light. Try setting the flash to on. If the subject is dark compared to the background, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive (+) setting or use the spot metering function. Also, ensure the subject is within the flash range, ideally within 2.0 m (6.6 ft.).

      If your Canon Digital Camera images are too bright, it might be because the subject is too close when using the flash; maintain a distance of at least 30 cm (1.0 ft.). If the subject is bright compared to the background, try setting the exposure compensation to a negative (-) setting or use the spot metering function. Adjust the shooting angle if light is shining directly on the subject, or turn the flash off.
