1. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

Tips for better pictures

• To avoid blurry pictures, hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button.
- Stand close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 1.5 ft (0.5 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.
• Keep your hand, fingers, or objects away from the flash and picture-taking lens.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. This camera features an automatic flash that fires when you need it.

1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.

2. Wait for the FLASH-READY LIGHT (12) and the AUTO-FLASH INDICATOR(37) on the LCD PANEL (14) to stop blinking.

1. Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera.

ISO film Flash-to-subject speed distance

100 1.5 to 12 ft (0.5 to 3.7 m)
200 1.5 to 17 ft (0.5 to 5.2 m)
400 1.5 to 23 ft (0.5 to 7.0 m)
800 1.5 to 28 ft (0.5 to 8.5 m)

- Don't take pictures beyond the maximum distance or your pictures will be dark.

1. Hold the camera steady and gently press the SHUTTER BUTTON (1) completely down to take the picture.

- To prevent battery drain, turn off the camera by pressing the on/off button when you are done taking pictures.

Using the red-eye reduction

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. To minimize red eye in flash or fill-flash pictures, use the red-eye-reduction feature.

1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.

2. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON (1) to turn on the RED-EYE-REDUCTION BULB (2).

3. Have your subject look directly at the red-eye-reduction bulb.

4. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture.

FLASH MODES

Besides the auto-flash mode, which is the default setting of the camera, you can select flash off, fill flash, or nightview with or without flash.

Flash off

When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited or when you want to take twilight scenes, distant subjects that are beyond the flash range, or to capture the ambiance of existing light, use the flash-off feature. Attach a tripod to the camera TRIPOD SOCKET (18) or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film to ensure the best exposure possible for taking pictures without flash.

Fill flash

When bright light indoors or outdoors comes from behind the subject (backlighting), dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows.

Nightview with flash

In this mode, the camera balances the flash and existing-light exposure so that you can take beautiful pictures of people at sunset or at night. Use a tripod by attaching it to the camera TRIPOD SOCKET (18) or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night is typically slow.

Nightview without flash

In this mode, you can capture the natural existing-light of city-night scenes or fireworks at night. Attach a tripod to the camera TRIPOD SOCKET (18) or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night is typically slow.

Selecting the flash modes

1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.
2. Repeatedly press the EXPOSURE-MODE BUTTON (17) until the FLASH-OFF SYMBOL (31), FILL-FLASH SYMBOL (30), or NIGHTVIEW SYMBOL (29) with or without flash appears on the LCD PANEL (14).

1. For flash off and fill flash settings: Hold the camera steady and gently press the SHUTTER BUTTON (1) completely down to take a picture.

For nightview with and without flash settings: Press and hold the shutter button completely down for approximately 4 seconds, without lifting your finger, until the shutter automatically releases to take a picture.

- If you remove your finger from the shutter button before 4 seconds, the shutter releases but in the standard auto-flash mode.

The nightview modes cancel after you take a picture, whereas the off-flash and fill-flash modes remain selected. To cancel the fill-flash or flash-off mode, turn off the camera by pressing the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) or select a different flash mode by pressing the EXPOSURE-MODE BUTTON (17).

USING THE SELF-TIMER

Use this feature when you want to include yourself in the picture.

1. Attach a tripod to the camera TRIPOD SOCKET (18) or place it on another firm support.

2. Press the SELF-TIMER BUTTON (15).

3. Position yourself in the composed picture making sure that you see the SELF-TIMER BULB (2) completely.

NOTE: If you do not see the entire bulb, you may not be in the picture.

• The self-timer bulb on the front of the camera glows and then blinks during the 10 seconds self-timer countdown.
  • The self-timer automatically cancels after the shutter releases.

SPECIAL OPTION MODES

Repeatedly press the FOCUS-MODE BUTTON (16) to view the special option modes and to make your selection. The special option modes for portrait and infinity focus let you tailor the camera's fully automatic operation for optimal camera settings.

Portrait mode

The portrait selection allows you to take sharp, close-up pictures of people. In this mode, the camera enters the close-focus zone at any distance away from the subject. If its distance exceeds 3 ft (0.9 m), the FLASH-READY LIGHT(12) "blinks red" to warn you of incorrect focus.

1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.
2. Repeatedly press the FOCUS-MODE BUTTON (16) until the PORTRAIT SYMBOL (32) appears on the LCD PANEL (14).

1. Look through the VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE (11) and compose your picture within the close-framing guides of the viewfinder.

1. Hold the camera steady and gently press the SHUTTER BUTTON (1) to take the picture. • The selection cancels after you take the picture.

Infinity-focus mode

1. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (21) to uncover the LENS (8) and to turn on the camera.

2. Repeatedly press the FOCUS-MODE BUTTON (16) until the INFINITY-FOCUS SYMBOL (35) appears on the LCD PANEL (14).
