Tips for Better Pictures
• Keep your pictures simple. Move
close enough to your subject so
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 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.

Taking Flash Pictures
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.

8
completely open to uncover the
LENS
9

FLASH
5

4. Hold the camera steady and
gently press the SHUTTER
BUTTON
1
to take the picture.
Be careful not to cover the
flash and picture-taking lens
with your fingers.

Red-Eye Reduction
Some people‘s eyes (and some
pets’) can reflect flash with a red
glow. To minimize red eyes in
flash or fill-flash pictures, use the
red-eye-reductionfeature.
1. Slide the LENS COVER
8
completely open to uncover the
LENS
9
and to turn the
FLASH
5
on.
2. Partially depress the SHUTTER
BUTTON
1
. The RED-EYE-
REDUCTION LAMP
4
will stay
on as long as the shutter
button is partially depressed.
3. Have your subject look directly
at the red-eye-reduction lamp
before you take the picture.
4. Press the shutter button
completely down to take the
picture.
Using Fill Flash and Off Flash
Use “fill flash” to lighten shadows.
Bright light indoors or outdoors
from backlit subjects can create
dark shadows (especially on
faces) in high-contrast scenes.
Use “flash off” when you do not
want to use the flash, especially
indoors where flash is prohibited,
such as in theaters and museums,

20
or in dim lighting situations. Use a
tripod or place the camera on
another firm support, and for best
results, use ISO 400-speed film.
1. Slide the LENS COVER
8
completely open to uncover the
LENS
9
and to turn the
FLASH
5
on.
2. Push and hold
the FILL-FLASH/
FLASH-OFF
SWITCH
6
in
either the fill-
flash or flash-
off position for
desired option.
3. While still holding the switch in
desired position, press the
SHUTTER BUTTON
1
to take
the picture.
4. Release the switch to allow
return to the off position.
