Taking Pictures

Flash Every Time

This camera features a flash that fires every time you take a picture for better, brighter pictures, both indoors and outdoors.
Examples include backlit scenes where the subject is in front of a bright background, or outdoors on a sunny day, when bright sun can cause shadows that obscure eyes or facial expressions.

NOTE: The flash-recycle time is approximately 5 seconds with fresh batteries.

1. Slide the on/off button to uncover the lens and to turn on the camera.

   

2. For a sharp picture, stand at least 4 ft (1.2m) from your subject.
   NOTE: When taking pictures in dim light or on dark overcast days, keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance below).
3. Wait for the flash-ready light to glow.



4. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece to compose your picture.
5. Hold the camera steady and gently press the shutter button to take the picture.

   

6. Wind the film-advance wheel until it stops.
   • Your camera is ready to take the next picture when the flash-ready light is lit.



7. Slide the on/off button to off when you are 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 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.
