    How to fix out of focus image on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T3 Digital Camera?
    • M
      mmillerAug 21, 2025
      If your Sony Digital Camera image is out of focus, it might be because the subject is too close. Try setting the camera to the close-ups (Macro) recording mode and position the camera further away from the minimum shooting distance (approx. 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) at W side/25 cm (9 7/8 inches) at T side), then shoot the image. Alternatively, select (Magnifying glass mode) and focus from a distance of approximately 1 cm to 20 cm (13/32 inch to 7 7/8 inches) from the subject. When shooting still images, avoid using (Magnifying glass mode), (Twilight mode), (Landscape mode), or (Fireworks mode) for the Scene Selection function. If the focus preset function is selected, set to the auto focus mode.
