Positioning your subject
Hold the camera grips as shown, resting
your right index finger on the shutter
button. Look through the viewfinder to
compose your picture; what you see is
exactly what your picture will include.
Note: If the viewfinder appears black,
the camera is not fully opened. Push
the flash forward until the camera clicks
open.
Indoors, your subject
should be between 2 to
10 ft. (.6 to 3m) away and near a light
colorful background for best results.
Outdoors, your subject should be at least
2 ft. (.6m) away. Keep the sun behind you
or to your side.
For vertical pictures such as portraits and
individual subjects, turn the camera
sideways for best results. To minimize
shadows, be sure the flash is on top,
as shown.
The camera orientation symbol on the
back of the flash unit will remind you how
to hold the camera.
Taking the picture
When the green light is on, the flash is
fully charged. If it is not on, touch the
shutter button lightly to charge the flash.
The flash always fires, outdoors and
indoors, in all lighting situations.
Press the shutter button to take the
picture. The viewfinder will go black; hold
the camera steady until you can see the
scene through the viewfinder again.
The flash will recharge for the next
picture within seconds. The picture will
advance automatically into the picture
storage compartment, on top of the
previous picture. The pictures are dry and
will not stick together. The image will start
to appear in less than a minute.
The picture can be removed immedi-
ately or stored in the compartment, which
can hold all the prints from one pack of
film, plus the film cover.
