In some instances these problems are related. Either your film speed or shutter speed are set incorrectly for the lighting.

Strobe can be set to OFF in setup. Although it does help with ensuring you have the subject correctly framed before shooting in dark or lowlight situations

AF problem,,can be
distracting objects near lens.. dirt on lens

wrong weighting selected.. try centre.. those red boxes you see when you press the shutter button and look through the eyepiece.. they form a cross generally If you have only one side weighted then the AF may sometimes play up.

read the manual carefully to understand some of these things. It will pay off with better pics

insufficient light
wrong shutter s[peed
wrong ISO ( film speed) as related to old ASA for film
camera set to macro mode indstead of normal
please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA
