Part of your picture is missing.
Make sure that you are not blocking the lens with your
finger, the strap, clothing, or other objects.
A horizontal or vertical red line appears on your picture.
Red lines are caused by glare. Avoid photographing
very shiny surfaces that reflect light into your lens.
The wrong date and/or time is displayed on your
camera.
If you remove the batteries from your camera for a
certain time period, you will need to reset the clock.
See “Setting the time and date” on page 4-20 to set the
clock using the LCD monitor. You can also set the
clock using your computer. For instructions, see the
EPSON Digital Camera Software User’s Guide.
The color in your photos does not look right.
When you take pictures under certain artificial lighting
conditions, the colors may be slightly distorted. You
can use image-editing software to adjust the color.
When you want to get more realistically colored
images (for example, reddish images at dusk), set the
white balance to FIX. For instructions, see “Adjusting
the white balance setting” on page 4-9.
Your pictures do not look as good as they used to.
Your camera’s lens may be dirty or dusty. Try cleaning
it, following the instructions in “Cleaning the camera”
on page 7-2.
The area captured in the photo is different from what
you saw in the viewfinder.
Take care to look straight through the viewfinder.
When taking photos using the macro feature, be sure
to use the LCD monitor rather than the viewfinder to
frame your subject.
Keep in mind that the area visible through the
viewfinder is slightly smaller than the area captured in
the actual photo.
