The I-1 autofocus system selects the focus distance
out blurry or fuzzy
when you press the shutter button
will use the center of what you see as the reference
point. If your subject is off-center, move your sub-
ject to the center of your shot, then press the shut-
ter button halfway in. Recompose your shot while
still holding the shutter button half pressed in.
Hold the camera steady when shooting, especially
in low light conditions, and make sure you have
a strong light source to illuminate your shot. We
strongly recommend that you always use the fl ash
when shooting indoors and outdoors at nighttime,
at dusk or on cloudy days. You can also use a tripod
to give your camera a stable base.
Make sure you are not too close to your subject
when you take a photo. In order to avoid blurriness,
you should shoot from at least 30cm away.

TIPS FOR MAKING GREAT PHOTOS
MAKE PHOTOS INDOORS
Always use the fl ash when shooting
indoors, even when you don't think
you need it. Indoor light appears
yellow on Impossible fi lm – the
I-1's ring fl ash is designed to
compensate for this.
MAKE PHOTOS AT NIGHT
Getting a good photo at night
means paying attention to the light
already in the scene. You will need
different settings whether you're
shooting at a party or trying to
capture streetlight, for example.
When shooting at a party (or in any
indoor nighttime environment), you
should always use the fl ash. You
can also try moving the lighten/
darken switch up to get a brighter
shot. If you want to capture city
lights at night, you can use the I-1
App to fi ne-tune your image by ad-
justing aperture and shutter speed
in Manual Mode.
MAKE PHOTOS OUTDOORS
Natural light is your best friend
when it comes to instant photog-
raphy. On a sunny day, outdoors,
you don't need to use the ring fl ash
at all. Make sure that the sun is
always behind you when you shoot.
If your environment is very bright,
you can try moving the lighten/
darken switch down to the 'darken'
position to let less light into the
shot and ensure it isn't blown
out. Remember that if you are not
shooting in bright, direct sunlight,
we recommend that you still use
the ring fl ash.
MAKE LANDSCAPE PHOTOS
If you're trying to capture a land-
scape, make sure that the sun or
main light source is behind you to
prevent the image from being blown
out. On a gloomy day you may wish
to put the camera on a steady sur-
face, which makes it easier for the
entire scene to remain in focus.
