1. PRELIMINARY STEPS

ATTACHING THE STRAP

Slip the thin cord on the carrying strap through the strap lug on the side of the camera leaving a loop. Slide the thick part of the strap through this loop and pull tight. Take up any slack to make sure the strap is securely attached to the camera.

Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or similar electronic products. These straps are usually too light to hold your camera securely. Use straps designed for cameras for safety.

???One lithium battery should be sufficient for approximately 200 exposures (based on our test conditions).

???When traveling, take extra batteries to provide power for extra exposures, particularly important if you visit areas where fresh batteries may be difficult to obtain.

???Check the battery capacity symbol before using your camera. (???p.8)

???After changing battery, reset the date to assure accurate date/time recording. (???p.9)

???Do not load film before insertng the battery into the camera.

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:

A : Number of Exposures

B : DX Code symbol

C : Film Speed (sensitivity to light or ISO rating)

???If non-DX coded film is used, the camera???s automatic exposure system automatically sets itself to ISO 100.

???Always load and remove film from your camera away from direct sunlight.

1 Check the film check window to make sure no film is loaded into the camera. 2 Slide the camera back lock in the direction indicated by the arrow.

3 To open the back, slide the lock in the direction indicated by the arrow.

???Never open the camera back while film is in your camera.

???Never apply excessive force when opening or closing the camera back.

Do not insert the film cartridge until the battery is in the camera.

13

14

Insert the roll of film.

A : 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.

16

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. Film is advanced one frame at a time inside the magazine.

Check the exposure counter (telling the number of exposures remaining).

If the number of exposures remaining is not displayed, the film is not advancing. Load the film again.

A : Framing Area

Compose your picture within these framelines.

AB : AF (auto-focus) frame

For sharp focus, position this frame over the main subject being photographed.

17

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. (Because the viewfinder and the lens are in different locations.) The parallax correction mark indicates the difference between the area seen through the viewfinder and the area actually photographed.

18

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. If you purchased your camera before going on a trip, shoot a roll or two to familiarize yourself with the operation of the camera. And don???t forget to get an extra set of batteries. You should also keep this instruction book with you for handy reference.

Make sure that nothing is in front of the lens, the flash, the autofocus windows or the automatic exposure light sensor.

19

20

??? The focusing range for sharp pictures is from 0.9m (3.0ft.) to infinity.

Aim at your subject so that it is covered by the whole AF frame.

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.

Press the shutter button down completely.

???The film advances to the next frame.

???The number indicated by the exposure counter decreases by one each time a picture is taken. ??? The AF lamp will go off once and reappear immediately after the shutter is released.

??? During the charging time of the flash (when the alarm sign is blinking ??? ???) the shutter cannot be

released.

21

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.

(Using color negative film)

22

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.24,33). 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;

???Photographing black or very dark light absorbing subjects such as hair;

???Presence of flames, smoke or gaseous substances;

???Photographing through glass.

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.

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.

??? The Auto-Focus lock operation can be repeated any number of times before the shutter trips.

25

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. When the back is closed, the film continues to rewind automatically: this protects all the frames on the roll from exposure to light except the last picture made.

Check to make sure the exposure counter shows ??????.

???To make sure that your roll of film which has been completely exposed is not accidentally

exposed to light, make sure the exposure counter reads ?????? before opening the camera???s back cover.

???If the film is removed before the exposure counter reads ??? ???, the next roll of film loaded will rewind immediately and the numerals on the exposure counter will blink.

26

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.

27

Removing film in mid-roll

Press the button with the point of a pen or something similar, and remove the film.

Film cannot be reused once it has been rewound. Do not press the button except when removing the film for developing.

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:

The Back Light, Flash-off, Landscape and Night Portrait modes are automatically cancelled when the power in the camera is turned off.

29

Each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order:

??? ?????? ??? ??? ???

30

( : 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.

Once the red-eye reduction lamp has come on, the AF Lamp will remain lit until the picture is taken. Do not move the camera while the AF Lamp is lit.

31

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.This causes the pupil to contract, reducing this reflection.When the actual flash exposure is made, the degree of reflection is minimized, thus reducing red-eye.

When using red-eye reduction mode

???Ask your subject to look directly into the camera.

???Approach as closely as possible to make your exposure.

( )Back light compensation flash mode

Use this mode to avoid deep shadows when photographing against the light such as a person standing in front of a window or under a tree with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking flash photographs.

Flash pictures taken even in a bright place.

32

() 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.

() Landscape mode

Used when taking landscape pictures or photographing remote (night) scenes through window glass.

The lens is focused for the remote subjects. The flash does not fire under this mode.

???This mode is automatically cancelled after each shot.

???When taking pictures under low light, use a tripod whenever possible to avoid unsharp pictures resulting from camera shake.

33

( ) 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.)

??? This mode is automatically cancelled per shot.

As a slow shutter speed is used with the night portrait mode, ensure that a tripod is used to prevent camera-shake. It is also important that the subject remains motionless during the expo- sure.

34

USING THE SELF-TIMER

Press the button.

??? The self-timer can be used to take up to 3 consecutive exposures.

??? Each press of the button changes the self-timer mode in the following order:

??? ???

1Position the AF frame over the main subject, and then compose the image within the framing area.

2 Press down the shutter release button.

???The camera focuses on the subject that the AF frame is positioned over, and then the self-timer starts.

???You can select the Auto-Focus lock mode also (???p.24).

When pressing the shutter release button, do not stand in front of the camera. This may cause a focusing error or underexposure.

35

After the self-timer lamp remains lit for about 7 seconds, it blinks for about 3 sec- onds, and then the shutter is released. When taking consecutive exposures, the shutter is released the set number of times at an interval of between 3 and 7 sec- onds.

???To cancel the self-timer mode after the self-timer has started, press the button.

???The self-timer mode is automatically cancelled after a photo is taken or the camera is turned off.

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE

1Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is a precision instrument and requires thoughtful handling. In particular, avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical abuse such as dropping it on the floor.

1 If you use your camera at the beach or in a light rain, pro- tect it from moisture. Do not let your camera get wet. Be particularly careful to avoid sand and salt spray at the beach.

2Dropping your camera or letting it strike a hard surface could result in damage even though the camera was in a case. Never subject the camera to vibration such as in the trunk of a car. Never keep your camera in the trunk or the glove compartment of a car: the heat build-up can dam- age it.

2Your camera is computer-controlled so it seldom, if ever, will operate erroneously. If you should experience erroneous op- eration, remove the battery and then reload it.

3If you will not be using your camera for some time, store it where it will be safe from heat, moisture, dust and harmful gases such as napthalene (moth balls and moth flakes).

4Never store the camera in a closed automobile for an extended period.

5It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras con- taining film be carried as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections may cause over- printing or other effects.

6Remove soil and dust from the lens, the AF window and the finder with an air blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft cloth. If that is not enough, wipe off gently with Lens Clean- ing Paper, moistened slightly with Lens Cleaning Liquid. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzene.

7Dust and debris in the film compartment can scratch the film. Use a blower brush to clean it.

8

9The operating temperature range of the camera is from ???10??C to +40??C.

0Since the performance of the battery will drop in cold weather, warm the battery by placing it inside your garments, etc. be- fore use. The performance of a battery whose performance has temporarily dropped can be restored by returning the bat- tery to normal temperature.

With a few common sense precautions, your camera will give you years of faithful service, great pleasure and wonderful pictures.
