Simple operating
procedures
Loading the film
This camera is designed to
use 35mm film with "DX"
coding to automatically set
film speed.
If n o "DX" fil m is available,
use ISO-100 film.
4
Prepare a "DX" film cartridge.
Your camera wil l automatically set
itself for DX-coded fi lm speeds
ranging from ISO 50 — 3200. (Refer
to Page 47.)
• In case of non DX film, film speed
is automatically set to ISO 100.
Insert the film cartridge into the
camera.
Always avoid direct su nligh t when
loading the film.
Make sure the film lies flat.
5
Align the film leader with the red
mark.
Close the camera back.
6
Setting the power switch to ON,
check that the exposure counter
displays "1".
•If the film is not loaded properly, the
exposure counter will not show "1"
and a display as shown in the illus-
tration will appear in th e LCD panel
In t h i s case, reload th e film correctly.
You can check the type of film in
use through the window in the
back of the camera.
Taking pictures
When the power switch is on,
the LCD panel lights.
The LCD panel goes out
after 4.5 minutes.
Then the lens will zoom
to the wide-angle
position.
7
Set the power switch to ON, which
wi ll open t he lens barrier. Whe n the
camera is not in use, always set the
power switch to OFF so that the
shutter cannot be activated by accident a nd the lens barrier will be
closed to protect th e lens.
Whe n th e power swit ch is set to ON,
the barrier opens and the lens shifts
out to t he wide angle shooting
position.
While looking through the
vie w f i nd e r , a im t h e camera a t t h e
subject you want to shoot.
8
Operate t he zoom button to adjust
the lens until you see the image you
want.
Whe n t h e T side of t h e zoom button
is pressed, th e lens w i ll zoom to t h e
telephoto side.
(In the telephoto position. the maximum f o c al length of the lens is
80mm.)
When the W side of the zoom button
is pressed, th e le ns wi ll zoom to the
wide-angle side.
(In t he wide-angle position, the
minimum focal length of the lens is
38mm.)
9
Adjust the focus to position your
subject within the multi autofocus
frame.
The multi autofocus system will
focus th e camera on t he closest
subject in the mu lti autofocus frame.
Press the shutter release button light-
ly and conf irm th at the autofocus
indicator "AF" (green) lights in the
viewfinder.
The subject should be within the
picture frame.
As this camera has the multi
autofocus system built-in, correct
focu s is assured even in a composition like this when your subject is not
centered in th e viewfinder.
10
The subject should normally be
positioned within the picture frame.
However, if the subject is 0.6m (2 ft .)
from
the camera, the
actual
image
area is reduced and th e subject
should b e positioned within the
close-up correction marks.
Close-up correction marks for close
range subjects.
Shooting range:
Autofocus operates w it h t he subject
at a distance of 0.6m (2 ft) to
(infinity).
If the subject is closer t han 0.6m
(2 ft), the "AF" indicator (green)
blinks when the shutter is pressed
lightly to warn that the picture will
probably be out of focus.
Note: the A F indicator may not
blink when the subject is extremely
close even though the picture will be
11
out of focus.
• The shutter can still be released
even if the AF indicator blinks.
Correct a n d incorrect ways to a i m
the camera: Be careful not to touch
th e lens or flash. When using a
shoulder strap, be careful that the
strap does not obstruct th e lens or flash.
Wh e n th e l e ns needs t o be cleaned,
wipe it softly with lens cleaner an d
lens cleaning tissue.
12
Gently press t h e shutter release
button. If you press the button too
quickly, the camera may shake,
causing blurred pictures.
As soon as your finger is removed,
the film automatically advances to
the next frame.
As the fi lm advances one frame, the
exposure counter advances t o th e
next frame number.
Unloading the film
13
When you reach t h e end of a roll
of film, it is automatically rewound.
You will hear the motor operating
and th e exposure counter will count
back until it reads "E".
The final reading of t he exposure
counter prior to rewinding may be
more than the number of exposures
specified for the film (24 or 36), as
you may get 25 shots on a 24
exposure roll.
If you want to rewind the film before
the end of the roll, push the rewind
button using the l ip of a ball point
pen or o th e r device having a small
round lip. Do not use any device
having a sharp pointed tip.
Be careful not to press th e rewind
button with too much force.
