Kodak DC40 - Manual (Page 24)

20 January 1996
3. Hold the camera up to your face and look through the viewfinder.
4. Frame the subject in the viewfinder window.
If you want to frame the picture like a portrait, turn the camera so that
it is vertically oriented (with the flash at the top).
NOTE: The picture will include an area slightly larger than the image
you see framed through the viewfinder.
5. Hold the camera steady and press the shutter button.
There is a brief delay between the time the shutter button is pressed
and the time the picture is actually taken. Be sure to hold the camera
still until you hear the click of the shutter.
A red light will appear in the viewfinder. When the red light turns off
and the camera beeps, it is ready to take another picture.
