2. USING YOUR CAMERA LOADING THE CAMERA Almost all 35mm films that your camera uses will have a DX coding symbol on the film box and on the film cassette itself. Information you will see includes: : Number of Exposures : DX Code symbol : Film Speed (sensitivity to light or ISO rating) •... - Page 15 Insert the roll of film. : FILM TIP mark Pull the end of the film leader out as far as film tip mark. ∗ If you pull the film too far out of the canister, remove the film and adjust the length.
- Page 16 Make sure the end of the film is threaded onto the spool.
- Page 17 Close the camera back. The film advances automatically. Prewinding finishes in about 20 seconds (with 24-exposure film). ∗ The type, number of exposures, and speed of the film that has been loaded may be checked with the film check window. This camera counts the frames starting at the highest number.

Page 18: Using Your Finder
USING YOUR FINDER The finder of your camera provides the control you need to take better, more inter- esting pictures. The finder includes: A : Framing Area Compose your picture within these framelines. B : AF (auto-focus) frame For sharp focus, position this frame over the main subject being photographed. C : Close-up Frame Use this when photographing subjects closer than 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) from your camera. - Page 19 With the close-up picture A : Viewfinder B : Print finishing C : Parallax correction mark When photographing a subject closer than about 1.5 m (4.9 ft.), the area shown in the diagram at left will be printed. When taking close ups, the area seen through the viewfinder and the area actually photographed will be different.

Page 20: Using Your Camera
USING YOUR CAMERA Turn the camera on and hold it firmly using both hands as shown in the illustration. When taking vertical pictures, hold the camera with the flash unit at the top. Before taking important, once-in-a-lifetime pictures such as weddings or special events, take a few test shots to make sure your camera is functioning correctly. - Page 21 To use the zoom lens, press the mark until you get the composition you want in the finder. Pressing the mark will set the lens at the shorter focal lengths to obtain wide-angle effects. ∗ The focusing range for sharp pictures is from 0.9 m (3.0 ft.) to infinity. Aim at your subject so that it is covered by the whole AF frame.
- Page 22 Press down the shutter release halfway. Focusing is complete when the AF lamp (green) lights up. ∗ If you are closer than 90 cm (35 in.) to the subject, the AF lamp will start blinking to warn that the subject cannot be focused. Note that if you are closer than 35 cm (14 in.) to the subject, the AF lamp turns on but the subject cannot be focused.
- Page 23 Under low light when flash must be used, the following chart gives you the effective flash range for correct exposures for films of various speeds. Note that high-speed film (ISO 400/800) extends your flash range significantly. Effective flash range Effective flash range Film speed Wide angle (38 mm) Telephoto (120 mm)
- Page 24 Under certain unusual conditions, the camera’s autofocus system may not be able to function accurately. At these times, you should use the “Autofocus Lock” setting or the “Landscape Mode” setting (→p.25,34). Conditions which may require these settings include: A bright light source with the picture area such as the sun near your subject or a strong reflection from water or the windshield of a vehicle; A mirror or other strongly reflective surface near the center of your picture;...

Page 25: Using The Auto-Focus Lock
USING THE AUTO-FOCUS LOCK In the composition shown at left, the AF frame is off the subject (in this case, the people). In this case the lens will not focus on the subject. Move the camera to position the AF frame over the subject. - Page 26 With the AF frame positioned over the subject, press down the shutter release but- ton halfway to set the auto-focus lock. Check that the AF lamp (green) lights up. While holding the shutter release button halfway down to keep the Auto-Focus lock on, move the camera back to the original position to recompose your picture, then press the shutter release button all the way down.

Page 27: Unloading The Film Or Removing Film In Mid-Roll
UNLOADING THE FILM OR REMOVING FILM IN MID-ROLL To Unload the Film After the last frame on a roll of film has been exposed, the film is automatically rewound. ∗ If the camera back should accidentally open during shooting, do not remove the film. Instead, close the back and leave your film as is. - Page 28 1 Slide the camera back lock in the direction indicated by the arrow. 2 Open the camera back in the direction indicated by the arrow. ∗ Do not apply unnecessary force to the camera back. Remove the film.

Page 30: Advanced Techniques
3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE Your camera offers six exposure modes to give you successful pictures under a wide range of photographic situations with various subjects. These modes are: ) Automatic flash for low light situations ) Red-eye reduction flash for more pleasing pictures of people ) Back light compensation flash mode ) Flash-off mode for natural light pictures ) Landscape mode for pictures of distant subjects... - Page 31 Each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order: → → → → →...
- Page 32 : no display) Automatic flash at low brightness mode Used for general photography. The flash lamp fires automatically when the brightness of the subject is lower than the predetermined level. ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 1 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires.
- Page 33 Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Red-eye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken.
- Page 34 ) Flash off mode Used when taking pictures with normal room lighting being utilized, or taking pictures of remote subjects beyond the range of the flash, for example, in a theater or a stadium. The flash stops firing. ∗ When taking pictures under low light, use a tripod whenever possible to avoid unsharp pictures resulting from camera shake.
- Page 35 ) Night portrait (slow sync) mode Used when taking portraits to record the background in a night scene. The slow shutter speed/red-eye reduction flash mode can be used to make sure that both people and nighttime background scenery are photographed clearly. (Af- ter the red-eye reduction lamp has blinked for about 1 seconds, the flash fires.) ∗...

When taking consecutive exposures, the shutter is released the set number of times at an interval of between 3 and 6 sec- onds.
