Taking Flash Pictures - FUJICA AX-3 Owner's Manual

All the interchangeable lenses of your Fuji AX have a depth of field scale
etched on the top of the lens barrel. If you are using an F1.6, 50 mm lens
and have set the Aperture Ring to F8 and the Distance Ring to 5m,
everything approximately between 3.5 and 8.7 meters from the camera will
turn out sharp (the distance between the two 8s on the depth-of-field
scale.)
Note: The X-Fujinon Z 1:3.5 - 4.2/29 - 47
mm DM and X-Fujinon Z 1:3.5 - 4.5/43 - 75
mm DM lends have a depth of field scale
with colored lines, which work together
with the colored numbers on the aperture
ring. Read the instructions packed with
them lenses carefully.
9. INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
To take infrared pictures with infrared film in your camera, the Lens is
focused on a point slightly short of your subject. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Focus the lens on your subject.
2. Check the distance given on the Distance Ring and move that distance
opposite the Infrared Setting Mark. Next, put a red filter on the Lens and
shoot. (The Infrared Setting Mark is the small red dot located next to the
Lens Setting Mark. )
* Read the instruction sheet packed with your infrared film carefully
because exposure is not determined by subject brightness.

10. TAKING FLASH PICTURES

Indoor, nighttime, and outdoor back lighted pictures are best taken with a
flash.
To take automatic flash pictures with your Fuji AX, use either the Fuji
Auto Strobe 300X or the Fuji Auto Strobe AZ. (Both are exclusive "system
accessories" of your Fuji AX).
The Fuji Auto Strobe 300X is a large capacity flash having a guide number
of 30 and it has a sub light to assist you to take bounce light pictures.
By using this flash you can take perfect bounce light pictures every time,
although this type of pictures are generally considered difficult to take
with flash. In addition, it will automatically switch the camera's shutter
speed to 1/60-sec. as soon as it is fully charged.
