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 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 switch completely open 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.
• The flash-recycle time is approximately 6 seconds with fresh batteries.
3. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece to see your subject.
4. Hold the camera steady and gently press the shutter button to take the picture.

   

• After you take the picture, the film advances to the next picture.
5. 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.
