Flash Images
In daylight the camera flash should be set to OFF as this speeds up processing and extends battery life
In low light you should set the flash to ON or AUTO.
No image on screen: If you cannot see the object clearly a usable picture will be unlikely to result.
The screen will also blank when processing an image.
It may also blank out briefly when the camera is moved because the image sensor needs to adjust.
Screen Illegible: In very bright sunlight you will not see the screen clearly. Shade the screen wherever possible.

Taking a Close Up Picture
The MACRO mode enables you to take close-up pictures with reduced blurring.
• Line up an object about 100mm from the camera. The fine detail is blurred.
• Slide the MACRO switch up to the
position.
The macro icon will appear on the screen beside the Camera icon.
Fine detail in the subject now comes up clearly.
• Keep the camera very steady. In Macro mode this is essential.
• Press the shutter button gently.
The camera processes the image and the picture you have taken appears on the screen.
After a while the screen clears and you may now take another picture. The ‘pictures
remaining' indicator on the monitor screen will decrease by one.
• Allow the camera to process the picture before lining up the next shot
• Always set the MACRO switch to OFF when you have finished.
Macro mode is especially useful for taking close up shots of flowers, insects and so on.
