In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors
in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days,

BUTTON (16). When the FLASH/CAMERA-
READY LAMP (18) glows green, fully
depress the shutter button to take
the picture.

within the
distance range
for the speed of
film in your
camera (see
Flash-to-subject
distance). Don’t
take pictures beyond the maximum
distance or your pictures will be dark.

museums, or when you want to take
twilight scenes or distant subjects that are
beyond the flash range, or capture the
