  If your Nikon Digital Camera cannot focus, it might be because: * The subject is too close. Try shooting using scene auto selector mode, Close-up scene mode, or macro mode. * The subject is hard to focus on. To solve this, set AF assist in the setup menu to Auto, or turn the camera off and then on again.

  If your Nikon Digital Camera images are too dark (underexposed), it could be due to several reasons: * The flash mode is set to W (off). * The flash window is blocked. * The subject is beyond the range of the flash. To resolve this: * Adjust exposure compensation. * Increase ISO sensitivity. * If the subject is backlit, select Backlighting scene mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).
