3 Shooting
Depress the shutter release button fully, and
the shutter will release. Then, the film auto¬
matically advances to the next frame.
Notes:
• When the shutter is released, the self-timer
lamp momentarily lights up to indicate that
a picture has been taken.
• If you wish to focus on another subject, lift
your finger off the shutter release button
and depress the shutter release button
halfway down again.
• The shutter cannot be released while the
lens is zooming.
Automatic Flash Emission
When taking pictures in low light or in a backlit situ¬
ation, the flash will automatically discharge. When
the shutter release button is depressed halfway
down in low light, the red lamp will light up, indicat¬
ing the flash is ready to discharge. If the red lamp
blinks, this indicates that the built-in flash is being
charged and the shutter cannot be released. There¬
fore, ensure that the red lamp lights continuously
before taking pictures.
Red-eye
Shooting portraits with the flash may result in "red¬
eye", (the red dot in your subject's eye). This cam¬
era includes a red-eye reduction flash function,
which suppresses the red-eye phenomenon by us¬
ing pre-flash. See page 17 for details.
