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.
• The film automatically advances to the next picture.



6. Close the lens cover 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.
