Tips for better pictures

• Keep your pictures simple.

Move close enough to your

subject so it fills the viewfinder

but not closer than 2.6 ft

(0.8 m) with the

C400

AF

and 3.3 ft (1.0 m) with the

C300

AUTO

.

• 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.

12

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

In dim light, such as indoors or

outdoors in heavy shade, or on

dark overcast days, you need

flash. Your camera features an

automatic flash that fires when

you need it. The flip-up flash

helps to minimize red eyes in

flash pictures and to prevent

hand obstruction in front of the

lens. When you partially depress

the shutter button and the flash/

camera-ready lamp turns off

and the fill-flash indicator stops

blinking, the flash is fully

charged and ready for

picture-taking.

1. Open the

LENS

COVER

(2)

to raise the flash and to turn

the camera ON.

2. Frame your subject within the

4. Keep the subject within the

distance range for the speed

of film in your camera (see

Don’t take pictures beyond

the maximum distance or your

pictures will be dark.
