Tips For Better Pictures; Using The Zoom Lens - Kodak Advantix Advantix Preview User Manual

Tips for better pictures

• Move close enough to your subject so
it fills the viewfinder but not closer
than 2 ft (0.6 m).
• Take pictures at the subject's level.
Kneel down to take pictures of
children and pets.
• Hold your camera vertically to capture
tall, narrow subjects, such as
a waterfall, skyscraper, or a single
person.
• Add interest to your picture by framing
it with a tree branch, a window, or
even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you. This provides
the best subject illumination.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like
windows or mirrors to avoid flash
reflection and bright spots in your
pictures.
• Turn on all room lights and have your
subject look at the red-eye-reduction
lamp to reduce red eyes in flash
pictures.

USING THE ZOOM LENS

This camera has a motorized-zoom lens
that lets you select the ideal lens-focal
length for taking pictures. When you turn
on the camera, it is initially set to the
wide-angle position.
1. Completely lift up the lens cover/
flash (2) to uncover the lens (7)
and to turn on the camera.
2. Look through the viewfinder
eyepiece (10).
3. Move the zoom dial (13) to the right to
zoom closer to the subject in the
telephoto mode or to the left to zoom
away from the subject in the wide-
angle mode.
