Tips for better pictures • Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 ft (0.6 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. • Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures. • Turn on all room lights and have your subject look at the red-eye-reduction lamp to reduce red eyes in flash pictures. USING THE ZOOM LENS This camera has a motorized-zoom lens that lets you select the ideal lens-focal length for taking pictures. When you turn on the camera, it is initially set to the wide-angle position. 1. Completely lift up the lens cover/ flash (2) to uncover the lens (7) and to turn on the camera. 2. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (10). 3. Move the zoom dial (13) to the right to zoom closer to the subject in the telephoto mode or to the left to zoom away from the subject in the wideangle mode. 17
