The camera beeps, and the
autofocus indicator lights in the
viewfinder. The exposure is also
locked at this time (AE lock).

If you want to position your main subject outside the center of the

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY — Auto Flash

In flash photography with this camera, the shutter speed is set to
1/100-sec. If you select the shutter speed higher than that, the flash
won’t fire.

The flash automatically fires in the selected exposure mode when
required (in the dark, with backlighting, or under fluorescent lighting).

The figures in this table apply to the Programmed Auto mode and low­light conditions. When reversal film is used, the working range at the
telephoto side will be reduced by about 30%.

If lights in the viewfinder when
the shutter release button is pressed
halfway, the flash will fire.

Flash working range (with color negative film)

In this mode, the camera emits a series of pre-flashes before the main flash
activates. This helps minimize the “red-eye” phenomenon (when a subject’s
eyes are illuminated by the flash and appear red in a color photograph).

Use this mode when you want the flash to fire for each
shot. The flash fires regardless of available light. Both
the subject and background can be clearly shot.

 Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter

releases.

 Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:

1. Is not looking at the flash from right in front.

2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.

3. Is too far from the camera.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the
individual characteristics of each subject.

 Do not use the flash in the Stop Action mode (p.14).

 This mode is less effective in extremely bright

conditions.

 The Fill-In Flash mode can be used with the

Programmed Auto mode and Aperture
Preferred Auto mode (p.17).

EXPOSURE MODES — 1. Direct Mode Select Buttons

Stop Action

To make it easier to take clear, properly illuminated
photographs under a variety of conditions, four
exposure modes optimized for the most common
shooting conditions are available.

Use this mode to freeze moving subjects.

Press the Direct Mode Select button that best
suits the shooting conditions or desired
effect.

The shutter speed is automatically
set higher to reduce the
“movement” of a moving subject
(1/2000-sec. at max.).

Press the button. Compose
your shot, and press the shutter
release button.

How to select the exposure mode

Use this mode to freeze moving subjects.
Use this mode to take a head-and-shoulders

picture with a blurred background.
Use this mode to take pictures with extended in-

focus backgrounds.
Use this mode to shoot a night scene without

artificially illuminating the subject.

Stop Action

Portrait

Landscape

Night Scene

 The camera continually adjusts focus on the subject as long as the

shutter release button is pressed halfway. The camera beeps twice
the first time the subject comes into focus.

 When the subject is moving too fast, the shutter will not release.
 Use the Auto Flash mode in flash photography .

Portrait

Landscape

Use this mode to take a head-and-shoulders picture with a blurred
background.

Use this mode to take pictures with extended in-focus backgrounds.

The blurred background is
particularly useful in telephoto
shooting and when the
background is distant. The flash
is synchronized with the
shutter up to 1/2000-sec. in this
mode.

Press the button. Compose
your shot, and press the shutter
release button.

 The aperture is set wide-open.
 Use of the flash makes the

subject stand out.

This mode is useful for
shooting landscapes or for
shooting subjects in the
foreground while keeping all
surrounding objects (both near
and far) in sharp focus.

Press the button. Compose
your shot, and press the shutter
release button.

For optimum results, use this
mode with the lens set to wide­angle side.

— 2. Exposure Mode Button

Use this mode to shoot a night scene without artificially illuminating the
subject.

For more versatile exposure control, you can use the Aperture Preferred Auto
mode or Long Time mode.

 When shooting subjects against a nighttime

background, combine this mode with the
flash.

 Do not use the flash when you are shooting

night scenes only.

In this mode, you can shoot clear pictures at night without over­illuminating the subject and blackening out the background.

Press the exposure mode button to
select “A” (Aperture Preferred Auto) or
“L.T.” (Long Time).

The shutter speed is
set at as slow as 4­sec. Use a tripod to
keep the camera
steady.

Press the button. Compose your shot, and

(When you push the shift lever upward,
the shutter speed changes in the reverse
order.)

Use a tripod to keep
the camera steady.

In this mode, you can deliberately make your picture brighter or darker as
desired. Exposure compensation is possible up or down to ±2 EV by 0.5 step.

While keeping the exposure
compensation button 1 pressed, use the
shift lever 2 to select the exposure
compensation value. The exposure
compensation value is displayed on the
LCD panel only when the exposure
compensation button is pressed.

When the shutter release button is
pressed halfway, lights in the
viewfinder.

 In the Exposure Compensation mode, the flash strength will also be

corrected.

 When color negative film is used, pictures will be corrected when they are

printed, which makes it difficult to see the effect of exposure compensation.

To cancel the Exposure Compensation mode,
set the exposure compensation value back to ±.

This mode accurately measures a small area such as a person’s face to enable
you to shoot a picture with the brightness precisely adjusted to the subject.

 When the flash is flipped up or the Night Scene mode is engaged, the camera

will not perform spot metering.

 When the shutter releases, the Spot Metering mode is canceled.
 To cancel the mode without taking a shot, press the SPOT button again.

mode is recommended (in backlighting,
for example).

Press the SPOT button. The mark,
aperture setting and shutter speed will be
