1-3 Photography Concepts

Regarding the Film

Film speed is the sensitivity of film to light, designated as ISO 100 or 400, etc. A larger ISO value indicates the higher sensitivity, and such films can be used in poor ambient lighting conditions, while the photos of such films have coarser grain and therefore poorer image quality.

For flash photography, use ISO 400 film which increases the possible distance for flash photography.

Possible Distances for Photography

The possible distance for photography is the range distance from the subject at which the shot can be focused. (strictly speaking, the distance between the subject and the film plane.) The possible distance for photography of this camera is from 50~cm to (infinity), but the following shooting situations may limit the shooting range.

When the distance from the camera to the subject is shorter than 1.0m this is called close-up photography.

The camera can shoot as close as 50~cm at wide-angle, and 50~cm at telephoto. With this type of camera, there is a difference (parallax) between what you see in the viewfinder and the actual picture when taking close-up photography. In order to avoid this, compose the subject within the close-range area frame. (See Page 18 for the details on the close-up photography.)

There is a distance limit when using the flash.

This distance varies depending on film ISO and zooming.

Film Speed	Wide-Angle	Telephoto
ISO100	0.5m-3.5m	0.5m-2.3m
ISO400	0.5m-6.9m	0.5m-4.6m

2 Basic Operations

2-1 Loading the Battery

① Open the battery compartment cover with a coin or the like.

② Insert a new battery (CR123A or DL123A) as shown, and close the cover firmly.

Battery is full.
: Replace battery as soon as possible.
: Battery is empty.

• Although photographing may be possible even while "C" is blinking, replace the battery at the earliest opportunity. If the battery voltage drops below the operational limit, "C" will start blinking on the Display Panel, and the camera will not operate.
• With a certain type of battery, the voltage may temporarily drop and the "—" mark may blink for a while after you install the battery in the camera.

If the "..." mark binks immediately after installing a new battery, once set the main switch to OFF and return it to ON again. You can start use of the camera when the "..." mark lights.

Key Point

• Reset the date and time after loading a new battery.

2-2 Loading the Film

① Open the Camera Back by pushing down on the Camera Back Release Knob.
Please avoid changing the film in bright light.

② Insert the film cassette at an angle, bottom end first.

③ Pull the tip of the film up to the "I+FILM" mark and place it on the top of the spool. Be careful at this time that the film does not float up from the spool.

Key Point

• If the film leader is too long, rewind the film as illustrated.

④ Close the Camera Back securely. As soon as the Camera Back is closed, the film will automatically advance and stop when the Exposure Counter shows "01".

Key Point

• Blinking of "00" on the Exposure Counter indicates that the film has not been correctly loaded. Open the Camera Back again and reload the film.

2-3 Pressing the Main Switch to Turn the Camera Power "ON"

When you press the main switch, the camera power comes "ON" and it is now ready to take pictures.

• When you press the main switch again, the lens retracts, the lens barrier closes, and the camera power goes off.
• Make it a rule to switch off the power when you will not use the camera soon. This prevents accidental shutter release.

To conserve battery power, if the camera is left unused for about 2 minutes with the power on, the lens retracts, the lens barrier closes, and the camera power goes off.

2-4 Holding the Camera

Basically, hold the camera with both hands. Find the camera holding techniques that suit you best, referring to the following illustration.

Vertical Position

Horizontal Position

Gently depress the shutter release

DO NOT cover the lens or flash with your fingers.

Keep your elbows tucked in to steady the camera

2-5 Diopter Adjustment

Turn the diopter adjustment dial until the focus frame in the viewfinder becomes clear.

Focus Frame

2-6 Composing Your Picture

While watching your subject through the viewfinder, compose your picture by pressing the Zoom button either on the side "W" (wide angle) or "T" (telephoto).

• The shutter will not trip while the lens is zooming.

2-7 Pressing the Shutter Release Button

WIDE

TELE

The shutter release button has two positions.

① Aim the focus frame at the subject and press the shutter release button halfway. This is called "Half release".

Half release

② After confirming that the green LED is lit, press the shutter release button completely down.

The Shutter is fully depressed

Lit	It is in focus. (the shutter can trip.)
Blinking	It is out of focus. /Flash is charging. (the shutter may not trip.） → see page 32.

Green LED

AF assist flash

When the subject is dimly illuminated or its contrast is low, the flash may partially fire prior to the shutter closing for auto focus in low light conditions. Do not mistake this for the flash when the shutter will actually be released.

2-8 Removing the Film

As soon as the last frame is exposed, the camera will automatically start to wind the film back into the cassette. While it is rewinding, the Exposure Counter counts down. Upon winding it back completely, it will stop, and the Exposure Counter will show "00", and start blinking. After making sure the Exposure Counter is blinking at "00", open the Camera Back and take out the film.

• While the film is rewinding, other camera features do not function.
• If you obtain more exposures than stated on the film pack, the last exposure may be cut in the process of developing.

To rewind the film partway through a roll>

If you wish to remove a film cassette partway through an exposed roll, press the button shown in the illustration.

② Move the camera to recompose the picture without lifting your finger off the halfway position, then take the picture by pressing the shutter release button all the way.

Key Point

• The camera features a multi-auto focus. Even if the subject is not centered, as long as it is in the focus frame, it will be in focus.

3-2 Close-Up Photography

When the distance between the subject and camera is less than 1.0m this is 'Close-Up Photography'. (You can shoot as close as 50~cm in wide angle.) When you look at the viewfinder, you can see the 'CloseRange Area Frame'. Use this frame to compose your picture.

① Look at the viewfinder and compose the picture in the picture area frame. Then press the shutter release button half-way down to lock the focus.

② Move the camera slightly left-upper in order to shift the composition which has been set ① to the Close-Range Area Frame. Then press the shutter release button all the way.
