VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE (19).

4.Press the SHUTTER BUTTON (16) to take the picture.

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.
