AUTO FLASH

The autoflash symbol "Jf0" on the top LCD panel

Note:

Ensure that the subject is within the flash shooting

range.

Flash shooting range (ISO 200)

Wideangle (25 mm): 1.0 m-4.7 m (3.3 ft—15.4 ft) Telephoto (50 mm): 1.2 m-2.5 m (3.9 ft—8.2 ft)

Note:

The flash takes about 6 seconds to recharge. The

shutter-release button locks while the flash is recharging.

O RED-EYE REDUCTION

Flash photography sometimes causes the pupils of the eyes to appear bright red in photographs. The red-eye reduction lamp on the camera face lights up for about one second before the flash fires to help reduce this effect.

Keep your finger firmly on the shutter-release

button until the shutter is released.

Self-timer mode is indicated by "c5" on the top LCD panel.

To start the timer, depress the shutter-release button fully. The indicator lamp on the camera face blinks for 10 seconds before the shutter is released.

USING FOCUS LOCK O When the subject does not cover the autofocus frame

marks "o", the camera may focus on the background instead.

© Position the autofocus frame marks directly on the subject and lightly press the shutter-release button. The green LED lights up and the focus is locked at this distance. Keeping your finger on the shutter-release button,

recompose the original scene. Now depress fully

to release the shutter.

Note:

Autofocus may not focus properly on:

• Small subjects that do not cover the autofocus frame marks

• Dark subjects with no reflection

• Glossy or reflective surfaces

• Non-solid subjects

• The main subject when there is a closer secondary subject

Use focus lock to focus on another subject the same

distance from the camera.

O FLASH-CANCEL

Flash-cancel mode allows you to shoot without flash in low-light situations where the flash would normally fire. Use flash-cancel mode in art galleries and other places where flash photography is prohibited

Flash-cancel mode is indicated by "(§)" on the top LCD panel.

Note:

Flash-cancel mode uses a slower shutter speed.

For best results, place the camera on a tripod or other stable surface.

©ANYTIME FLASH

Anytime flash mode allows you to use the flash in situations where the flash would not normally fire, for

instance when the subject is standing in the shade or in

front of the sun. Anytime flash mode is indicated by "J" on the top LCD

panel.
