Guide to zooming (Fig. F)
The 35mm zoom setting provides wide-angle coverage, suitable for group
portraits and landscapes. The 60mm telephoto zoom setting covers a narrower
angle of view, ideal for portraiture or any subject you cannot get close to. To
activate the zoom, move the zoom lever to "GO" for telephoto or "rng" for
wide-angle view.

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 counteract 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.
To activate red-eye reduction lamp, be sure to turn the Flash/Macro switch ON
first. Then hold down the shutter release button halfway for a few seconds
before pressing the button all the way to fire the flash.

5. Macro (close-up) photography
This camera is designed to take close-up pictures of a subject from 0.55 to
0.95m (1.8 to 3.1 ft.) at the wide-angle setting, and 0.60 to 0.85m (2.0 to 2.8 ft.)
at the telephoto setting away from the camera.
1.
Set the Flash/Macro switch to "ON" and wait until the flash ready-light turns ON.
2.
Compose your subject within the viewfinder.
3. While holding the Flash/Macro switch all the way down, fully depress the
shutter release button.
Important: Depending on the ISO number of the film in use, the effective
close-up range for close-up picture varies. (See the table on
page 5.)
Caution:
For macro photography, make sure that your subject is within the
shaded area of the viewfinder as shown in Fig. H
of the viewfinder will be omitted; only the shaded portion is exposed.
