My friends and I have mastered this technique!. Okay so ready!? Here's what you do!. First find a good, sturdy surface to jump from (ex!.a couch, chair, etc) and find a place in front of it that is sturdy and will get all of the jumpers in the frame!. Put the camera on a self timer and jump up just before the picture flashes!. This may take a few times but trust me, you will catch on!. Putting the camera on a sturdy surface or a tripod can work, but sometimes a better method is to have someone hold the camera, then everyone can get in position and can have plenty of time to get ready!. You really will get it pretty quickly and will have it down to a science!. Hope I could help you out, good luck! Www@QuestionHome@Com

i have a setting that lets me take several pics at once!. that could help

but first of all, make one of the girls take a picture of the rest of the peops jumping just to see if it is possible in the first place!.

and if soo, but you dont have that several pics setting, put it on self timer, and wait until the flashing stops and jump then!.

good luck and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok, the easy thing you can do, is test it first!.
Put on the flash, and press the button!.
Count till the flash goes off!.
Then take the picture, and as you say 1 get everyone to jump!.
That should work, i have almost the same camera!.
It worked for me, i've taken alot :D

Hope i could help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i love jump shots!. what you do is give the camera to someone and while your jumping around (on a tramaplen(spelling!?)) someone else will take pics!. but if two of you wanted to do a pic you'd have to set a timer and count the seconds to get it right!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Umm!.!.!.if you have a manual setting you should set your shutter speed to be faster!. Your shutter speed would be indicated by 1/500 setting or something like that!. Then just set it down and put it on a self timer!. The faster the shutter the quicker it will capture you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

pay attention to when the camera takes the image!. once you know exactly when, jump right before it takes it, then hopefully it will be fine!. It will take more than a few times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cheat, stand on something and make it look like you are jumping, by not showing the thing you are standing on!. It is the easiest and least frustrating way!. Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Throw your camera up in the air then jump before it hits the floor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
