Tips for Better Pictures
• Hold the camera steady when taking pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it
fills the viewfinder but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 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 single person.
• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window,
or even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.
17
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 flash which
automatically fires when needed. Wait for the Camera- /Flash-Ready
Lamp (16) to glow green, upon partially depressing the shutter button,
before you take the picture.

Flash Tips
• Turn on room lights and have the subject face the lights to minimize
red eyes in pictures.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid
flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.
• Keep your fingers and other objects away from the picture-taking lens,
flash, and meter-cell window to avoid dark or light pictures.
