• 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.15

• 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.

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.19 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.20 Nightview without flash In this mode, you can capture the natural existing-light of city-night scenes or fireworks at night.
