Use the full scope of the view- f inder when you compose your pict ure. The negative is very small. Therefore, plan the picture com- position in the viewfinder very carefully before you press the shutter release button so that there will be no need of trim- ming afterward. Movementof the camera at the moment of releasingthe shutter blurs the picture. For a midget camera like the l6- EE, movement of the hands holdingthe camera is most un- desirable. Hold the camera pro- perly with both hands,and press the shutter release button.View original page 6
