Taking Pictures
This camera features a flash that,
when the flash-ready light glows, will
fire every time you take a picture.
The all-the-time flash feature acts as
a fill flash in hazy outdoor pictures or
in bright-light conditions where
shadows may exist.

Tips for Better Pictures
• 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 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 waterfall, skyscraper,
or a single person.

2. Take the picture when the

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.
