TAKING PICTURES
This camera features a flash that, when
the flash-ready light glows, will fire
every time
you take a picture. This all-
the-time flash feature provides
consistently brighter pictures by acting
as a fill flash in hazy outdoor pictures or
in bright-light conditions where
shadows may exist.
1. Slide the
LENS
COVER
(6) completely
open to
uncover the
LENS
(7) and
to turn on
the camera.
2. For a sharp picture, stand at least
4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject.
The flash-recycle time is
approximately 5 seconds
with fresh batteries.

3. Look through the
VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE

until it stops.

done taking pictures.

Tips for better pictures
To avoid blurry pictures, hold your
camera steady by keeping your
elbows close to your body when
you press the shutter button.
Stand close enough to your
subject so that it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 m).
Take pictures at the subject’s level.
Kneel down to take pictures of
children and pets.
Hold your camera vertically to
capture tall, narrow subjects, such
as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a
single person.
Add interest to your picture by
framing it with a tree branch, a
window, or even the rails of
a fence.
Keep the sun behind you. This
provides the best subject
illumination.
Keep your hand, fingers, or objects
away from the flash and picture-
taking lens.
Stand at an angle to shiny
surfaces like windows or mirrors to
avoid flash reflection and bright
spots in your pictures.
12
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or
outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark
overcast days, you need flash. This
camera simplifies your picture-taking
because the flash fires
every time
you
take a picture.
1. Slide the
LENS
COVER
(6)
completely open to uncover
the
LENS
(7) and to turn on
the camera.
2. Wait for the
FLASH
-

to glow.
3. Keep the subject within the
distance range for the speed of
film in your camera.
Don’t take pictures beyond the
maximum distance or your
pictures will be dark.
