Taking Pictures

You can take Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H)*, and Panoramic (P) pictures on the same film cassette. Your photofinishing costs are based on the format used.

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

  1. Open the lens cover/flash to raise the flash and to turn on the camera.

  2. Slide the print-format switch to C, H, or P. The viewfinder changes to show the selected picture size.

  3. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece.
    Model T60 AF (Auto Focus):
    For a sharp picture, stand at least 2.6 ft (0.8 m) from your subject.
    Model T50 AUTO:
    For a sharp picture, stand at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) from your subject.

  4. Press the shutter button to take the picture.

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 that it fills the viewfinder but not but not closer than 2.6 ft (0.8 m) with the T60 AF and 3.3 ft (1.0 m) with the T50 AUTO.

  • Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.

  • Keep the sun behind you. This provides the best subject illumination.

  • Hold your camera vertically with the flash positioned upward to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a person.

  • Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence.

  • Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection.

  • Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights to reduce red eyes in flash pictues and bright spots in your pictures.

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