Film advance

The film is advanced automatically to the next
frame with consistent spacing between frames
regardless of format. This resetting of the frame
position can be heard when the format selector is
moved.
When the mode dial is set at S, one exposure is made.
When the mode dial is set at C, consecutive exposures
are made as long as the release button remains de-
pressed. In the C mode the exposure rate is 1.2 frames/s
in the standard format and 0.9 frames/s in the pano-
rama format.
If only one unexposed frame is left on the film to cover
the standard format and the format selector is switched
to 'panorama', the shutter will lock and a P will flash as a
warning.

LCD illumination

When the ambient lighting conditions are too dark too
read the LCD information panels, press the LCD back
light illumination button located below the camLCD
panel, as in the illustration. The panels will be illumi-
nated and remain so until the camera remains inactive
for a period of five seconds. The lighting will then go
out automatically. The button also has a toggle func-
tion so you can turn the lighting off simply by pressing
button again.
The viewLCD has a backlighting brightness automati-
cally controlled by the ambient light level.

Close-range photography

The viewfinder has an integral parallax compensation
facility. This automatically moves the position of the
bright frame in the viewfinder in accordance with the
focusing distance to ensure correct framing of the subject.
