Using the focus lock
(

model C470

AF

)

The

C470 AF (Auto Focus)

camera
focuses on the subject that appears
in the center of the viewfinder
eyepiece. To focus on the subject
positioned outside of the center,
use the focus lock as follows:

1. Place the center of the

viewfinder eyepiece (14)
on the subject that you want
focused in the picture.

2. Partway press down and hold
the shutter button (1) to lock
the focus position.

3. With your finger still on the
shutter button, move the
camera until your subject is
where you want it within the
viewfinder eyepiece.

4. Completely press down the
shutter button to take
the picture.

14

Tips for better pictures

• Keep your pictures simple.
Move close enough to your
subject so it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 2.6 ft
(0.8 m) with the

C470

AF

and 3.3 ft (1.0 m) with the

C370

AUTO

.

• 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.

15

FLASH AND PICTURE­T AKING OPTIONS

Repeatedly press

MODE

(16) to
select the flash mode that best
suits your subject and surroundings
or a picture-taking mode that lets
you tailor the camera’s fully
automatic settings.

Flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator

When the flash/camera-ready­lamp indicator (15) “blinks” and
the mode-selector arrow (25) on
the

LCD

panel (11) “blinks” for fill-
flash pictures, the camera is not
ready to take the picture. Wait for
the lamp to turn off and the mode­selector arrow to stop blinking
before you take the picture.

MODE

16

Auto flash

In dim light, such as indoors or
outdoors in heavy shade, or on
dark overcast days, you need
flash. Your camera features an
automatic flash that fires when
you need it. The flip-up flash
helps to minimize red eyes in
flash pictures and prevents hand
obstruction in front of the flash.

Fill flash

When in bright sun or when bright
light comes from behind the sub­ject, dark shadows (especially
on faces) may occur. Use fill flash
to lighten these shadows and to
add sparkle to your subject’s eyes.

Flash off

When you do not want to use the
flash, especially indoors where
flash is prohibited, or capture the
ambiance of existing light, use the
flash-off feature. Use a tripod or
place the camera on another firm
support, and use high-speed film
because the shutter speed in
these situations is generally slow.

AUTO

17

Nightview with
or without flash

Nightview with flash: The camera
balances the flash and existing
light exposure so you can take
beautiful pictures at sunset
or night.

Nightview without flash: You
can capture the natural existing
light of city scenes or fireworks
at night.

Use a tripod or place the camera
on another firm support, and use
high-speed film because the
shutter speed at night is
generally slow.

Selecting the flash and
picture-taking options

1. Open the lens cover/flash (3)

to raise the flash and to turn
on the camera.

2. Repeatedly press

MODE

(16)
until the mode-selector arrow (25)
points to the auto-flash
symbol (21), fill-flash symbol (22),
flash-off symbol (23), nightview
symbol (24) with flash or night­view symbol (24) without flash.

18

3. Frame your subject within the
viewfinder eyepiece (14)
keeping your subject within the
distance range for the speed
of film in your camera (see

Flash-to-subject distance).

4. Press the shutter button (1)

to take the picture. When you
take nightview pictures, press
and hold the shutter button for
4 seconds before you release
the button.

NOTE: If you release the
shutter button before
4 seconds, the nightview
setting cancels.

Fill flash and flash off modes remain
selected after you take the picture. T o
cancel the selection, press

MODE

or
close and reopen the lens cover/flash
to return to the auto-flash mode.

19

USING THE SELF-TIMER

Use this feature to include
yourself in pictures.

1. Use the tripod socket (18)
to attach the camera to a tripod
or place it on a firm surface.

2. Open the lens cover/flash (3)
to raise the flash and to turn
on the camera.
