FOCUSING AND WORKING DISTANCE

CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY This camera uses a wide multi-autofocussystem that makes it easier for thecamera to focus on subjects even if theyare not in the center of the viewfinder.Shoot your subject from a distance of 0.6 m to ∞ (infinity) at wide angle andfrom 0.8 m to ∞ (infinity) at telephoto. Although the shutter will release when asubject is extremely close to the subject,the subject will be out of focus.The picture area will move lower in the viewfinder as you get closer to thesubject. Close-up correction marks (picture area at closest distance). Picture area at infinity.

Autofocus marks1. Open the lens barrier until it clicks. The lens will extend slightly and theLCD panel will turn on. Push the zoomlever to the “T” side for telephoto (100 mm) or to the “W” side for wideangle (28 mm).• After about 4

minutes of inactivity,the lens retracts and the LCD panelgoes out.2. Position the autofocus marks (AF) onyour subject.• Do not look at the sun or other stronglight sources through the viewfinder.3. Press the shutter release button halfway to focus on the subject. Make sure that the green lamp lights;then press the shutter release buttonall the way to take the picture. After the shutter is released, the filmautomatically advances to the nextframe.

(with color negative film)When reversal film is used, the working range at the telephoto side will bereduced by about 30%. ISO

Wide angle (W)0.6 to 4.6 m0.6 to 6.5 m0.6 to 9.2 mTelephoto (T)0.8 to 1.8 m0.8 to 2.5 m0.8 to 3.6 mThe camera automatically rewinds thefilm when you reach the end of a roll.Make sure the motor has stopped andthat “ ” is blinking; then open the backcover to remove the film.

WCombination of the Two Modes –

RED-EYE REDUCTION NIGHT SCENE FLASH

Prevents the typical red eyes seen in pictures when shooting at night (see figure 7 on page 126). Both modes cannot be combined with the Spot Metering mode. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.

Open the back flap and keep page 126 visible. Red Eyes in Flash Pictures –

RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH

When taking flash photos of persons in the dark the flashlight falls into the wide-open iris. There the flashlight is reflected red from the retina. The Red-Eye Reduction Flash emits a series of low-power pre-flashes before the main flash. This gives the subject’s eyes a chance to adapt to the bright light by making the iris smaller. Assuming that the subject looks into the pre-flashes, the eyes will not appear red in the picture (see figure 3 on page 126).

• Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter releases.

• Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:

1. Is not looking at the flash from right in front.

2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.

3. Is too far from the camera.

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the individual characteristics of each subject. No Flash Allowed or Flash Spoils Atmosphere – FLASH-OFF The Flash-Off is needed where flash photos are not allowed or where you want to keep the twilight or artificial light atmosphere unspoiled (see figure 4 on page 126).

• Since a slow shutter speed (as low as 2 seconds) is selected, use a tripod to prevent camera-shake.

• Have your subject stay still; otherwise, blurring may result. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode. Shadow on the Face – FILL-IN FLASH When taking portrait photos in backlight or underneath a tree or roof, the subject’s face may look too dark. The Fill-In Flash provides just the right amount of additional light to compensate for the shadow (see figure 5 on page 126) and for fluorescent light.

• Make sure your subject is within the flash working range (p. 7).

• Fill-in flash becomes ineffective in extremely bright conditions. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode. City at Night – NIGHT SCENE FLASH When taking a walk in the city at night, you may want to take photos of your subject in the foreground with the city lights in the background. The Night Scene Flash takes care of this. The main flash lights the subject in the foreground while the shutter stays open up to 4 seconds to capture the city lights. You’ll need to secure the camera on a tripod or other support to prevent camera shake (see figure 6 on page 126). SPECIAL FEATURES

display Auto Flash Red-Eye Reduction Flash Flash-Off Fill-In Night Scene Flash Red-Eye Reduction Night Scene Flash High contrast – SPOT METERING When taking photos in a high contrast environment (e.g. backlight portraits), the main subject may come out too dark or too bright. To make sure that the subject is exposed correctly use Spot Metering (see figure 1 on page 2). Position the spot marks (A) on the area where you want to measure the light. Press the shutter release button halfway; the green lamp lights and the focus and exposure are locked on that area. Reframe your subject and press the shutter release button all the way. Shooting scenery – INFINITY The camera automatically sets the workings distance at infinity. The flash does not fire except in the Fill-In Flash mode (see figure 2 page 2).

SETTING THE EXPOSURE MODES

Press the flash mode button ( ). The mode switches in the order shown on the left. The selected mode is displayed on the LCD panel. Do not fire the flash right in front of the eyes of people and animals. Do not point the camera at a motorist and fire the flash.

display Auto Exposure Spot Metering Infinity Press the exposure mode button ( / ). The mode switches in the order shown on the left. The selected mode is displayed on the LCD panel. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Exposure mode.PRINTING THE DATE/TIME (Quartzdate model only) First select the date/time mode you want to print. Press the MODE button. Each time you press it, the mode will switch in the order shown on the left. Keep the mode you want to print displayed. Date/time is imprinted in the lower right corner of the picture. If the date/time is superimposed on a bright color like white, orange, yellow, etc., it may be difficult to read. When black-and-white film is used, the date/time may not be printed.

CORRECTING THE DATE AND TIME

(Quartzdate model only) Be sure to correct the date and time after the battery has been inserted or replaced.

1. Keep the MODE button pressed until the “year” indicator starts blinking.

2. Press the SET button to adjust the “year” indicator. If you press the button

once, the number on the display will advance by 1. If you keep the button pressed, the numbers will run in rapid succession. If you pass the intended number, keep pressing to return to that number.

3. Press the MODE button once more to make the “month” indicator blink.

Press the SET button to adjust the “month” indicator. As you press the MODE button, the blinking indicator changes in the order of “year”, “month”, “day”, “hour” and “minute”.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set “hour” and “minute”. Make sure the “minute”

indicator is blinking.

5. When “minute” has been set, press the MODE button. None of the indica-

tors will be blinking and date/time correction is now complete.

REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

(Optional RC-300C) If the selftimer/remote control indicator doesn’t blink even when you press the button, replace the battery with a new one (CR2025).

1. Turn the screw on the bottom of the remote control counterclockwise to

2. Turn the remote control over, and remove the cover. With the battery

facing up, remove the old battery and insert a new battery as shown.

3. Replace the cover, turn the remote control over, and turn the screw on the

bottom clockwise to tighten (see figure 9 on page 127). OTHER OPERATIONS
