Before your child uses the camera independently, we recommend that you fi rst
thoroughly read these instructions. Explain to your child how to use the camera
and then practice taking pictures with your child.
1. Use Bright Light Indoors
Make sure there is a bright light source when taking indoor pictures. The light
source (sun, lamp or window) should be above or facing your picture subject.
Do not place your picture subject in front of the light source since the picture
subject will look dark in your photo.
2. Hold Still
Make sure the picture taker and the picture subject are not moving. Also be
sure your child holds the camera with two hands.
3. Proper Distance
Center the picture subject on the LCD screen. The picture subject should be no
closer than 4 feet (1,2 m) from camera.
