Your photo-processing cost will be based on the format size(s) that you use to expose the film. Look through the viewfinder eyepiece (16) and place the auto-focus circle (f) on the subject. Press the shutter button (1), to take a picture. Typical Print Sizes C Classic 3 1/2 x 5" or 4 x 6" (88. 9 x 127 mm or 102 x 152 mm) H Group & Wide (HDTV) 3 1/2 x 6" or 4 x 7" (88. 9 x 152 mm or 102 x 178 mm) P Panoramic 3 1/2 x 10" to 4 x 11 1/2" (88. 9 x 254 mm to 102 x 292. 7 mm) 9 Using the Focus Lock This camera automatically focuses on whatever is within the auto-focus circle of the viewfinder eyepiece (16). 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. Partially depress and hold the shutter button (1) until the focus/flash lamp (17) glows green to lock in the focus position. While still depressing the shutter button, move the camera until your subject is where you want it within the viewfinder. Press the shutter button completely down to take the picture. Special Focusing Situations Some subjects or scenes, such as those described below, are difficult for the auto-focus system to detect correctly; even though the focus lamp may glow green, the focus/exposure may not be correct. To insure proper focus in the following situations, first lock the focus on another object at the same distance from you as your main subject, then recompose your picture and press the shutter button. · Subject is near a very bright area or object such as a table lamp(s). · A very bright- or low-contrast area fills the center of the auto-focus circle of the viewfinder. 10 Using the Self-Timer 1. Use a tripod (tripod socket [18]) or place the camera on another firm support. Press the enter/self-timer button (14) to the self-timer (25) position. The self-timer lamp (5) 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 on/off button or the self-timer button again. 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 2 ft (0. 60 m). · Hold your camera vertically to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or single person. [. . . ] Red-Eye Reduction -- Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. To minimize red eyes in flash or fill-flash pictures, use red-eye reduction. Press the select/flash button (13) to select fill flash (28), off flash (30), or red-eye reduction (23). Press the select/flash button to return to the auto-flash/start position (26). UNLOADING THE FILM After you take the last picture on the film cassette, the film automatically starts to rewind. [. . . ]
