Taking Pictures

You can take Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H)*, and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photo-processing cost may be based on the format size(s) that you use to expose the film.

* High Definition Television (HDTV) prints are the same aspect ratio as the TV for CD interface capabilities.

  1. Slide the LENS COVER SWITCH to uncover the LENS, to activate and raise the FLASH and to turn on the camera.

Tips for better pictures

  • Hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button to avoid blurry pictures.

  • Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 3.3 ft (1.0 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.

  • Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

  • Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights. This will help to reduce red eyes in flash pictues.
