Move the print-size selector (3), ➎ to desired format. 3. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (15) and place the auto-focus circle (f) on the subject. For a sharp picture, stand at least 2 ft (0.
Using the Focus Lock This camera automatically focuses on whatever is within the auto-focus circle of the viewfinder eyepiece (15). To get a sharp photograph, make sure the auto-focus circle is on your main subject. If you want to take a picture with the subject positioned outside of the auto-focus circle, use the focus lock as follows: 1. Place the auto-focus circle (f) on the subject that you want focused in the picture. 2.
Using the Self-Timer 1. Use a tripod (tripod socket [17]) or place the camera on another firm support. 2. Lift the lens cover/flash (2), ➍ completely up. 3. Press the enter/self-timer button (13) to the self-timer (23) position. 4. Press the shutter button (1). The self-timer lamp (4) will “blink” 10 seconds before the picture is taken. NOTE: If you want to stop the self-timer operation before the picture is taken, press the self-timer button again or close the lens cover/flash.
TAKING FLASH PICTURES In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera features automatic flash that fires when you need it. It also provides automatic daylight fill flash under certain bright-light conditions where shadows may exist. If the focus/flash lamp (16) “blinks” red, the flash is not fully charged. Wait for the light to turn green before you take a picture.

Using Fill Flash and Off Flash Fill Flash — Bright light indoors or outdoors from backlit subjects can create dark shadows (especially on faces) in high-contrast scenes. Use fill flash to lighten the shadows. Off Flash — When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited, such as in theaters and museums, or in dim lighting situations, use off flash. Use a tripod (tripod socket [17]) or place the camera on another firm support. 1.
