Tips for better pictures

• Hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button to avoid blurry pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 3.3 ft (1.0 m).
  Take pictures at the subject's level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.

• Keep the sun behind you. This provides the best subject illumination.

• 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.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights. This helps to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera has a built-in automatic flash that fires as needed.

1. Slide the lens-cover switch (7) to uncover the lens (8) and to turn on the camera.
2. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece (11).

3. Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance).

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

5. Wait for the flash-ready lamp (13) to turn green.

1. Press the shutter button (1) to take a picture.
