Precautions

•Be sure to read this instruction manual thoroughly before use, and keep it
close at hand.

•Do not subject the camera to high temperatures such as those encountered
near a heater or stove or the interior of a car during summer.

•Store the camera in a
such as camphor or naphthalene. Using a desiccant during storage is
recommended.

•Close the lens cover to turn the camera off when not in use. This prevents
accidental release of the shutter and resulting battery drain.

•Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the camera yourself, as it
houses high-voltage circuitry which can cause an electric shock. Another
reason is that these actions could cause the camera to malfunction.

Flash photography (See Fig. G—page 28.)

Auto flash mode (default)

The camera determines when flash is needed and fires the flash
automatically. Recommended flash shooting range is as follows:

Flash shooting distance range

Film speed
ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400

As soon as the flash is fully charged, the green flash ready LED lights up; the
LED automatically goes out after approx. 20 seconds; it lights up again when
you press the shutter release button lightly. To take a picture with flash, fully
depress the shutter release button. Recharging takes approx. 6 seconds.

•The flash ready LED blinks while the flash is being charged and the shutter
release button is locked.

Flash shooting range
1 to 2.7m (3.3 to 8.9 ft)
1 to 3.8m (3.3 to 12.5 ft)
1 to 5.4m (3.3 to 17.7 ft)

Flash cancel mode (See Fig. G-2—page 28.)

When you don't wish to use flash to achieve a more natural lighting effect,
press the flash cancel button while shooting.

Anytime flash mode (See Fig. G-3—page 28.)

Whenever you want to use fill-flash for backlit situations, press the
anytime flash button while shooting.

Red-eye reduction

In flash photography, the subject's eyes sometimes appear bright red in color
pictures (white in b/w ones) due to a phenomenon known as "red-eye." To
reduce this effect, your camera comes with a red-eye reduction lamp. When
the shutter release button is pressed lightly, the red-eye reduction lamp lights
up,

causing the size of the subject's pupil to grow smaller, thus reducing the
possibility of red-eye effect. Be sure to hold down the shutter release button
halfway for a few seconds to light up the red-eye reduction lamp before
pressing the button all the way to fire the flash. The red-eye reduction lamp
goes out after 10 seconds automatically while holding the shutter release
button halfway.
