Taking Pictures

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

   

2. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece to see your subject.
3. When your subject is within 2 to 3 ft (0.6 to 0.9 m) from the camera, position the subject below the close-framing guides.

   

4. Hold the camera steady and gently press the shutter button to take the picture.

   

   After you take the picture, the film automatically advances to the next picture.

5. Turn off the camera when you are done taking pictures.

Using the focus lock

This camera automatically focuses on the subject that is within the auto-focus circle of the viewfinder. If you want to take a picture with the subject positioned outside the autofocus circle, follow these instructions.

1. Place the auto-focus circle on the subject you want focused in the picture.

   

2. Press the shutter button halfway down to lock the focus.
   
   
3. While still pressing the shutter button, move the camera until your subject is where you want it within the viewfinder eyepiece.

                      

4. Press the shutter button completely down to take the 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 2 ft (0.6 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.
