Cause
•When a bright source of light (such as lamplight) is in the central part of the scene and in front of the subject, the camera’s photocell will measure the bright light, caus- ing the subject to be too dark.
Solution
•Move the source of light to one side of your subject so it is not in the central part of the scene.
Picture too blue or too red/yellow as possible.
Cause
•A blue tint may result when pic- tures are taken at temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
•A red or yellow tint may result when pictures are taken at temper- atures above 95°F (35°C).
Solution
•Keep camera and film away from excesses of temperatures (hood of a car, glove compartment or trunk).
The film
For best results, take pictures when the temperature is between 55°F (13%) and 95°F (35%). Below 55°F (13°C), place developing pic- tures in a warm pocket. Above
95°F (35C), keep the film as cool as possible. Store below 75°F (24°C); do not freeze.
The picture
During the first 60 seconds of devel- opment, handle the picture gently and hold it by the wide, white bor- der. Keep the developing picture away from hot surfaces like the hood of a car. Do not fan or bend
the pictures.
The lens
Avoid touching the lens.To remove dust or fingerprints, breathe on the lens and wipe it gently with a lens tissue or a clean, soft facial tissue.
Do not use
