The flash doesn’t fire
when I take a photo
When taking photos make sure
you aren’t accidentally pressing
the flash override button, locat-
ed on the camera’s back panel.
My photo turned out
slightly too dark
We strongly recommend that
you always shoot with flash
when shooting indoors, as well
as outside at night-time, at
dusk and on cloudy days with
low light conditions.
Make sure you are not
shooting towards the sun;
the OneStep 2 meters the aver-
age light level it sees. When
shooting toward sunlight, the
excessive light may cause the
camera to over-compensate
when exposing the image,
creating an image that is too
dark to expose your subject
properly.
Move the lighten/darken
switch on the right side of the
lens barrel to the plus/lighten
position for a brighter image.
My photo turned out
blurry or fuzzy
When shooting, make sure
to hold the camera steady,
especially in low light con-
ditions, and make sure you
have a strong light source to
illuminate your shot.
We strongly recommend
that you always shoot with
flash when shooting indoors,
as well as outside at night-
time, at dusk and on cloudy
days with low light conditions.
You can also use a tripod to
give your camera a stable
base.
Make sure you are not too
close to your subject when
taking photos. In order to
avoid blurry or out-of-focus
photos, you should shoot from
at least 60cm (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
OneStep 2’s flash is designed
to compensate for this.
Make photos at night
When shooting at a party (or
any indoor night-time environ-
ment), 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 behind you,
facing your subject directly
or side-on. If your environment
is very bright, you can try mov-
ing 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.
