Kodak COLORBURST 250 - Flash Photography Guide; Using the Electronic Flash; Flash Picture Examples

For horizontal
pictures.
If you don't
want the print to be ejected
immediately after you take a picture , sim-
ply keep the
shutter release depressed.
The
print will not begin to develop until
you
allow the shutter release to return and
the camera motor ejects the print from
the camera.
Flash
Pictures
When the caution light in the viewfinder
indicates that the lighting is low, use the
built-in electronic flash to take flash pic-
tures of subjects from 4 to 10 feet from
the
camera (4 to 9 feet if you are using
nickel-cadmium batteries). Or under cer-
tain
conditions you can make extended
exposures. See page 7.
1. To take a flash picture, slide the flash
unit fully to the side as shown in the illus-
tration until it snaps. This automatically
turns the unit on. When the unit is in this
position, the caution light will not appear
and the camera can't make an extended
exposure.
If the batteries are good, the
READY LIGHT
on the back of the camera will begin to
blink within 30 seconds , indicating that
the unit is ready to flash.
2. Check the distance carefully . Flash-to-
subject distance is very important for prop-
er flash exposure . If you are farther than
10 feet from
your subject (9 feet with
nickel-cadmium batteries), it will appear
too
dark (underexposed); closer than 4 .
feet,
your subject will be unsharp. You can
often use the
lighten/darken control to
improve flash exposure within the flash
range. See page
8.
