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 picturetaking lens.

• Stand at an angle to shiny

surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

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

SOCKET

(18) or place the camera on another firm support, and use highspeed film to ensure the best exposure possible for taking pictures without flash.

TRIPOD

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
