When the subject is dark, the camera Flash provides a supplementary light source for proper exposures.
After fully depressing the Shutter Button, the camera flash will fire automatically three times and a picture will be taken during the fourth camera flash.
*The camera flash will fire even in bright locations. *The flash can only provide supplementary light at distances between (0.6- 3.2m) (1.96- 10.49ft).

*Do not move the camera or subject until the end of the fourth flash.
Red Eye is caused by the light from the retina of the subjects eye. The light

Inversely, more light can be reflected back causing the subjects red eye to be prominent in the photograph. The camera "Red-Eye Reduction"'mode can reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

When you shoot a subject against a reflective surface such as a window or mirror, position yourself at an angle to the subject to prevent the reflected light from entering the camera. Additionally, the camera Flash can be turned off.
When you shoot pictures of two or more people, make sure that they are positioned at an equal distance from the camera so that they get the same exposure.
Film & Print Care
+ Keep films in a cool and dry place. Do not leave films in a place where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car) for many hours. +When you load a film pack, use all the films as soon as possible. +When taking pictures after placing the films in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low, place them under the normal temperature for a while before starting to take pictures. +Be sure to use the films within the expiration period. +It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras containing film be carried as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections may cause over-printing or other effects. + Avoiding strong light, keep the prints in a cool and dry place.
