My picture is too dark. What should I do?

• You may need to use the flash. Make sure the setting is not flash off. If you're using the flash, make sure your subject is between 3.2 and 9.8 feet away. Use HotShots to adjust the picture's brightness and contrast as described Chapter 7. If you're using the macro mode to take a close-up photo, be sure to provide adequate lighting for your subject, since the camera's smallest aperture setting is automatically selected in this mode.
