blurry or out-of-focus photos,
you should shoot from at least
60 cm (2 ft) away from your
subject.
Tips for Making
Great Photos
Make photos indoors
Always use the flash when
shooting indoors, even if you
don’t think you need it.
Indoor light appears
yellow on analog film — the
’s flash is designed
to compensate for this.
Make photos at night
When shooting at a party
(or any indoor night-time
environment), you should
always use the flash.
You can also try moving the
lighten/darken switch to the
plus/lighten position to get a
brighter shot.
Make photos outdoors
Natural light is your best friend
when it comes to instant
photography. On a sunny day
outdoors, you don’t need to
use your flash at all. Make
sure not to shoot towards the
sun; shoot with the sun be-
hind you, facing your subject
directly or side-on. If your en-
vironment is very bright, you
can try moving the lighten/
darken switch to the minus/
darken position to let less
light into the shot and prevent
it from being “blown out”.
In any situation where you
are not shooting in bright,
direct sunlight, we recommend
still using the flash to achieve
the best shots.
Make landscape photos
When trying to capture a
landscape shot, make sure
that the sun or main light
source is behind you to
prevent the image from being
“blown out” by excess light.
On a cloudy or overcast day
with low light, you may wish to
place the camera on a tripod
or steady surface which will
make it easier for the entire
scene to remain in focus.
