Precautions for Taking Photos
Precautions for Holding the Camera
Take care that a finger or the strap does not cover the flash light sensor, AE light sensor, flash lampface, lens,
or film ejection slot.
Hold the camera so that the flash lampface is at the top when taking a horizontal picture.
Do not take photos in locations where flash photography is forbidden.
Do not grasp the lens barrel when holding the camera. The finished photos may be adversely affected.
Look into the viewfinder so that the O mark in the viewfinder appears in the center.
Be careful not to touch the lens when you press the shutter button.
Distances for Normal Mode and Selfie Mode
In normal mode, take a photo at a distance of at least 19.7 inches (0.5 m) from the subject. The effective flash
range is up to approximately 8.9 ft (2.7m).
When holding the camera closer than 19.7 inches (0.5 m) from the subject, use the selfie mode. Use the selfie
mode to capture a close-up within the range of 11.8 inches to 19.7 inches (30 to 50 cm).
