ject, a strong light reflection such as from water or from the windshield of a car;
/A mirror or other strongly reflective surface near the center of the
picture;
/When the subject is only composed of vertical lines;
/When the subject is moving at high speed;
/When the background is much brighter than the subject.
In the following cases, the AF lamp blinks slowly to warn you that the
picture is out of focus. The focusing range is fixed at about 3m (9.8ft.)
–
∞.
/When the contrast of the subject is very low.
/When the subject is composed of a repeating
pattern.

●Cautions to Be Handled When the Film is Loaded in the Camera
/Do not open the camera back while the film in mid-roll is loaded in
the camera.
☞
If the camera back is opened while the film in mid-roll is loaded in the
camera, the film may be exposed to the light and your pictures lost.
☞

If the camera back is opened by mistake:
1Close the camera back without taking out the film.
2The remaining frames can be used.
✽Since the picture counter is reset to “¡” when the camera back is opened,
the correct the film count is not displayed. However, you can continue to
take pictures until the roll is finished at which time you will feel a resistance
in the film. At this point, rewind the film and take out it from the camera. DO
NOT TRY TO ADVANCE THE FILM ONCE THIS RESISTANCE IS FELT.

SELECTING THE FLASH MODE
The amount of light put out by the flash
is changed to adjust for the brightness
of the subject, the distance, and the
zoom.
/For bright remote scenes, the flash does
not fire.
/Refer to page 40 – 41 about the intelligent
multi-programmed flash for details.
The flash will fire briefly 10 times (preflash), then fire again to take the picture.
/This mode is kept even when the power is
turned off.
/The AF lamp lights up during the 10 brief
flashes (pre-flashes), then goes off when
the flash fires. Do not move the camera
while AF lamp lights up.
a Intelligent Multi-programmed Flash Mode
Used for general photography.
d Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode
Reduce red-eye.
When you photograph a person in dim light using the flash, the eye will
sometimes appear red in the finished photo. Under low light, the pupils
of the eye get bigger for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from
the flash entering the eyes and being reflected back to the lens. Redeye reduction causes an early flash to fire before the actual picture is
taken. This causes the eye to get smaller, reducing this reflection.
When the actual flash exposure is made, the degree of reflection is
less, 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 picture.

Advanced Techniques
Unlike the intelligent multi-programmed
flash mode, the flash fires even in a
bright place.
The flash stops firing.
/When taking pictures under low light, use
a tripod or other steady camera support
whenever possible to avoid unclear pictures.
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.
/This mode is cancelled each shot
(➜p.28).
/As a slow shutter speed is used with this
mode, be sure to place your camera on a
tripod or other steady camera support to
prevent camera shake. It is also important
that your subject remain still during the
complete exposure.
f Fill-in Flash Mode
Use this mode to avoid deep shadows
against the light. For example a person
standing in front of a window or under a tree
with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking photographs.
g Flash-off Mode
Used when taking pictures under normal
room lighting or taking pictures of subject
beyond the flash range such as in a theater
or a stadium.
w Night Portrait (Slow Sync) Mode
Used when taking pictures of a background in a night scene.

Intelligent Multi-programmed Flash
A new function allows the camera to
adjust the amount of light put out by
the flash by looking at the brightness of
the subject, the distance, and the
length of the lens. The flash always
fires unless the subject is bright or too
far. This flash allows you to take clear
pictures. The performance of this camera with this new feature in the closeup photography is better than in cameras with out it. Some practical examples are introduced to explain the
effects.
●Close-up photography in a room
or night scene
When close-up photography is taken in
a dim place with an ordinary flash, it
fires at 100%. As a result, the subject
is washed out because of too much
light. The intelligent multi-programmed
flash reduces the light amount down to
3%, preventing the subject from being
washed out.

●Portrait photography under very
bright light
When a person is photographed in
bright daylight, his (her) face is likely to
be spotted with shadows of the hair
and nose. Even in such a case, the
intelligent multi-programmed flash fires
to reduce the shadows. Compare a picture taken with the special flash and a
picture taken without using this special
flash.
●Photography against the sun
When photographing a person who is
backlit or standing by a window, the
subject appears as a shadow. As a
result, they will be too dark to distinguish. In this case, the intelligent multiprogrammed flash provides the correct
amount of light so that you can take
beautiful pictures.

Common Sense Camera Care
1. Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is electronic and
requires careful handling. Avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical abuse.
1) If you use your camera at the beach or in a light rain, protect it from moisture.
Do not let your camera get wet. Be particularly careful to avoid sand and salt
spray at the beach.
2) Dropping your camera or letting it strike a hard surface could result in damage
even if 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-as the heat build-up can damage it.
2. Your camera is computer-controlled. If you should experience incorrect operation,
remove the batteries and then reload them.
3. If you will not be using your camera, store it where it will be safe from heat, moisture, dust and harmful gases such as those caused by moth balls and moth flakes.
4. Never store the camera in a closed automobile.
5. It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras containing film be carried
as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections may cause overprinting or other effects.
6. Remove soil and dust from the lens, the AF windows and the viewfinder with an air
blower and by wiping lightly with a piece of soft clothes. If that is not enough, wipe
off gently with Lens Cleaning Paper, moistened slightly with Lens Cleaning Liquid.
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol and benzene.
7. Dust and debris in the film compartment can scratch the film. Use a blower brush
to clean it.
8. Load and remove film away from direct sunlight.
9. The operating temperature range of the camera is from –10°C to +40°C.
10
. Since batteries do not work well in cold weather, warm the batteries by placing
inside your garments, etc. before use. A battery that is not working well due to cold
will work again when the temperature is return to normal.
With a few common sense precautions, your camera will give you years of faithful service, great pleasure and wonderful pictures.
