14
FLASHAND PICTURE-
TAKINGOPTIONS
Besides the auto-flash mode (default
setting of the camera), you can select
fill flash, flash off, infinity focus without
flash, and nightview with flash.
Repeatedly press MODES (20) 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.
Tips for better pictures
•Move close enough to your subject so it
fills the viewfinder but not closer than
1.3 ft (0.4 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.
•Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like
windows or mirrors to avoid flash
reflection and bright spots in
your pictures.
•Turn on all room lights and have your
subject look at the flash to reduce red
eyes in flash pictures.

15
Fill flash
When in bright sun or when bright light
comes from behind the subject, dark
shadows (especially on faces) may occur.
Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and
to add sparkle to your subject’s eyes.
Flash off
When you do not want to use the flash,
especially indoors where flash is
prohibited, or to 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 will most likely be slow.
Nightview
In this mode, the camera balances the
flash and existing light exposure so you
can take beautiful pictures of people at
sunset or at night. Use a tripod or place
the camera on another firm support, and
use high-speed film because the shutter
speed at night will most likely be slow.
Flash/camera-ready lamp indicator
When you partially press down the Shutter
button (1) and the Flash/camera-ready
lamp (10) glows green, the flash is fully
charged and ready for you to take pictures.
Auto flash
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.

16
Infinity focus
Capture sharp, distant scenery when you
take pictures outdoors during the day or
through windows.
Selecting the flash and
picture-taking options
1. Completely lift up the Lens cover/
flash (2) to raise the flash and to turn
on the camera.
2. Keep the subject within the distance
range for the speed of film in your
camera (see Flash-to-subject
distance table on page 17).
•Don’t take pictures beyond the
maximum distance or your pictures
will be dark.
3. Repeatedly press MODES (20) until the
Mode-selector arrow (26) points to the
Auto-flash indicator (23), Fill-flash
indicator (24) or Flash-off indicator (25),
or until the Infinity-focus indicator (28) or
Nightview indicator (29) appears on the
LCD panel (9).
4. Frame your subject within the
Viewfinder eyepiece (11).
5. Partially press down the Shutter
button (1). When the Flash/camera-
ready lamp (10) glows green, fully
press down the shutter button to
take the picture.
The flash, infinity-focus, and nightview
modes remain selected after you take
the picture. To cancel the selection,
press MODES to select another setting
or close and reopen the lens cover/flash
to automatically return to the
default setting.
