TAKING PICTURES
This camera features a flash that,
when the flash-ready light glows, will
fire
every time you take a picture.
This all-the-time flash feature provides
consistently brighter pictures by acting
as a fill flash in hazy outdoor pictures
or in bright-light conditions where
shadows may exist.
1. Slide the
LENS COVER (6) completely
open to
uncover the
LENS (7) and
to turn on
the camera.
2. For a sharp picture, stand at least
4 ft (1.2 m) from your subject.
•The flash-recycle time is
approximately 5 seconds
with fresh batteries.

Tips for better pictures
•To avoid blurry pictures, hold your
camera steady by keeping your
elbows close to your body when
you press the shutter button
•Stand close enough to your
subject so that it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 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.
•Keep your hand, fingers, or object
away from the flash and picture-
taking lens.
•Stand at an angle to shiny
surfaces like windows or mirrors to
avoid flash reflection and bright
spots in your pictures.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark
overcast days, you need flash. This

LENS COVER (6)
completely open to uncover
the
LENS (7) and to turn on
the camera.
