2. Partially depress and hold the SHUTTER
BUTTON (1) to lock the focus position.
3. While still partially
depressing the
shutter button,
move the camera
until your subject
is where you want
it within the
VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE (9).
4. Press the shutter button completely
down to take the picture.
Tips for better pictures
• Move close enough to your subject so it
fills the viewfinder but not closer
than 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.
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.
The flip-up flash helps to minimize red eyes
in flash pictures and to prevent hand
obstruction in front of the flash.
1. Open the LENS COVER / FLASH (2) to raise
the flash and to turn the camera ON.
2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE (9).
3. Partially depress the
SHUTTER BUTTON (1).
When the FLASH /
CAMERA - READY
LAMP (8) glows green,
fully depress the
shutter button to take
the picture (see Flash/warning-
lamp signals).
4. Keep the subject 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.
