KODAK KB Zoom 35 mm Camera  
User's Guide
Taking Pictures

This camera features a flash that fires every time you take a picture-for 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. Turn the on/off/reset switch to turn on the camera.

   

2. For a sharp picture, stand at least 5 ft (1.5m) from your subject.

NOTE: When you take 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 table below).



3. Wait for the flash-ready light to glow.

   

4. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece to compose your picture.

   

5. Rotate the zoom ring to the right to zoom closer to the subject or to the left to zoom away from the subject.

   NOTE: You may need to readjust the zoom setting as you take each picture.

   

6. Hold the camera steady and gently press the shutter button to take the picture.
• The film automatically advances to the next picture.

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 5 ft (1.5 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.
