Tips for better pictures
•Keep your pictures simple.
Move close enough to your
subject so it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 2.6 ft
(0.8 m) with the
C470 AF
and 3.3 ft (1.0 m) with the
C370 AUTO .
•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.

FLASHANDPICTURE-
TAKINGOPTIONS
Repeatedly press MODE (16) to
select the flash mode that best
suits your subject and surroundings
or a picture-taking mode that lets
you tailor the camera’s fully
automatic settings.
Flash/camera-ready-lampindicator
When the flash/camera-ready-
lamp indicator (15) “blinks”and
the mode-selector arrow (25) on
the
LCD panel (11) “blinks”for fill-
flash pictures, the camera is not
ready to take the picture. Wait for
the lamp to turn off and the mode-
selector arrow to stop blinking
before you take the picture.
MODE

16
Autoflash
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. The flip-up flash
helps to minimize red eyes in
flash pictures and prevents hand
obstruction in front of the flash.
Fill flash
When in bright sun or when bright
light comes from behind the sub-
ject, dark shadows (especially
on faces) may occur. Use fill flash
to lighten these shadows and to
add sparkle to your subject’s eyes.
Flashoff
When you do not want to use the
flash, especially indoors where
flash is prohibited, or capture the
ambiance of existing light, use the
flash-off feature. Use a tripod or
place the camera on another firm
support, and use high-speed film
because the shutter speed in
these situations is generally slow.
AUTO

17
Nightviewwith
or without flash
Nightview with flash: The camera
balances the flash and existing
light exposure so you can take
beautiful pictures at sunset
or night.
Nightview without flash: You
can capture the natural existing
light of city scenes or fireworks
at night.
Use a tripod or place the camera
on another firm support, and use
high-speed film because the
shutter speed at night is
generally slow.
Selecting the flash and
picture-takingoptions
1. Open the lens cover/flash (3)
to raise the flash and to turn
on the camera.
2. Repeatedly press
MODE (16)
untilthe mode-selectorarrow (25)
points to the auto-flash
symbol(21),fill-flashsymbol (22),
flash-off symbol (23), nightview
symbol (24) with flash or night-
view symbol (24) without flash.

3. Frame your subject within the
viewfinder eyepiece (14)
keeping your subject within the
distance range for the speed
of film in your camera (see
Flash-to-subject distance).
4. Press the shutter button (1)
to take the picture. When you
take nightview pictures, press
and hold the shutter button for
4 seconds before you release
the button.
NOTE: If you release the
shutter button before
4 seconds, the nightview
setting cancels.
