2. Partially depress and hold the

Tips for better pictures
• Move close enough to your subject so it
fills the viewfinder but not closer than
1.3 ft (0.4 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.
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in
heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you
need flash. Your camera features an
automatic flash that fires when you need it.
1. Press the
ON
/
OFF BUTTON
(2) to open the
lens cover and to turn the camera ON.
2. Frame your subject within the
VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE
(10).
3. Partially
depress the
SHUTTER
BUTTON
(1).
When the
FLASH
/
CAMERA
-
READY LAMP
(9) glows green, fully depress
the shutter button to take the picture (see
Flash/warning-lamp signals).
4. Keep the subject within the distance
range for the speed of film in your
camera (see Flash-to-subject distance).
Don’t take pictures beyond the maximum
distance or your pictures will be dark.
