9. If the Camera Frame is blurry or not clear, adjust the Focus
Knob underneath the camera lens until your subject is clear.
10. The camera is now ready to record your brilliant masterpiece!
Animation Notes:
1. Your Camera plays movies back around 3 to 4 frames per second. This means that around 3 to 4 images
make up one second of movie time. Think about the kinds of actions you want your Bratz™ doll to do and
act them out yourself. Time them and see how many seconds each action takes. This will give you an idea
of the number of images to capture.
NOTE: Make sure that you have sufficient light to see your subject clearly. If it appears too dark on the
TV screen, add more light until the subject is clear.
2. The more images you capture for an action, the slower the action will look on screen. Take a look at the
images below:
NOTE: The camera is able to capture images without a TV, but you will not be able to see what the camera
sees as whole captured images cannot be seen through “Viewfinder”. This makes animation much
more difficult!

6. Now, move your doll‛s arm to the left and straighten it out as you go. Then, bring her arm back up into
Capturing Images:
the first position. Do this six times as shown below.
Your Camera is designed to take a series of still pictures and play them back rapidly in succession, this
process is known as animation. With animation you will be able to make your Bratz™ doll appear to come to
life! Here‛s how:
1. Pose your Bratz™ doll in a starting pose.

2. Remove the “Shutter Release” Button from its holder.
3. Press down on the “Shutter Release” Button to take a picture. The Camera will “chirp” to indicate that a

4. Move your doll‛s arm up slightly and take another picture.

7. Repeat Step 6 three more times.
8. Now, move your doll‛s arm back the opposite direction. Do this seven times until the arm is in the same
place as the beginning of Step 1.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 as you take more pictures of your doll. Raise her arm up a little bit each time. Do
this six times.
