We recommend using ISO 400 film in the flash mode. Note: When the sun or any bright light source is behind the object, it acts as a backlight and causes faces to appear dark in the pictures.

Then press the shutter release button (2) to take a picture. Note: To take picture indoor where flash is prohibited, press and hold the flash off button (21).
