Close-up parallax marks
If you sight a subject closer than 1 m through the optical viewfinder, you will have to make
allowance for parallax. In this case, only the portion below the parallax marks will be captured.
It is therefore advisable to use the LCD screen for close-up shots, which is parallax-free.

LOADING THE BATTERIES
The camera is powered by four size AA alkaline or NiMH batteries.
• If you use rechargeable (NiMH) batteries, make sure they have been fully loaded with the
aid of a suitable charger.
Always switch the camera off before changing
batteries!
• You may skip this step when you load batteries
for the first time after buying your camera.
Open the battery compartment pushing its
cover as illustrated (1), then flip the cover
open (2).
Load the batteries with correct polarity,
following the +/- marks.
24
LOADING THE BATTERIES
Close the battery compartment as shown (1)
and push the cover shut so that it clicks into
place (2).
• After changing batteries, check whether the built-in clock shows the right date and time
(see page 116).
If the camera is neither loaded with batteries nor connected to AC, the clock may be slow
or reset entirely. Should this be the case, reset the date and time as described on page 116.
• Never put the camera down with its battery compartment open to avoid damage to the
compartment cover.
• Be careful when changing batteries: The spent cells may be hot!
25

CHECKING BATTERY POWER
With batteries loaded, the camera automatically
checks their condition and displays the result on
the data monitor.

LOADING THE BATTERIES
AUTOMATIC CUTOFF
To save energy, the camera will automatically cut off three minutes after its last use.
To restore it to operating condition, switch it on again using the ON/OFF switch.
• With batteries, the cutoff interval may be extended to 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 30 minutes
(see page 112).
• When powered by the optional AC adapter, the camera will automatically cut off 30
minutes after its last use. This interval cannot be varied.
USING THE OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER
Using the optional AC adapter, the camera can be connected to a wall outlet. This is advisable
for prolonged shooting sessions, above all when the camera is linked up to a PC.
Make sure the camera is turned off before changing from battery to AC power or vice
versa. NEVER change the power supply with the camera switched on!
Plug the AC adapter into the camera terminal.

• The shape of the plug depends on the type of
AC adapter used.
Connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet.

INSERTING/REMOVING THE COMPACTFLASH‘ (CF)
CARD
Be sure to turn the camera off before inserting or changing the CompactFlash‘ card. The data
on the card may be lost or the card itself damaged if it is inserted or changed with the camera
switched on. Format the card after loading down your pictures to your computer.
Inserting the CompactFlash‘ card
Open the card slot as shown.
1
Insert the CF card into the card slot.
• Insert the card with its flat side facing the
2
camera lens and the signal end facing down,
pushing it as far as it will go.
• Take care not to jam the card, insert it straight.
• Should the card jam, make sure you are
inserting it the right way round. Never use force,
or you may damage the card and/or your
camera!

• The camera will focus automatically. The focus
lamp comes on green as soon as this has
happened.
• Should the focus lamp blink, repeat step [1].
• The orange flash ready lamp lights when the
flash is charged and ready to fire.
• Should the orange flash ready lamp blink slowly
(about twice per second), the camera will use a
relatively slow shutter speed that may give rise
to camera shake. It is therefore advisable to
mount the camera on a tripod.
Press the shutter release down fully to take

your picture.
• Should the orange flash ready lamp blink as you
press the shutter release down fully, the flash is
still recharging. In this case, keep the release
down until the flash has recycled.
• You picture will appear on the LCD screen, and
it will be saved to your CF card. During saving
the green focus lamp will blink slowly (about
twice per second), and RECORDING will blink on
the LCD screen.
Be sure to keep the battery compartment closed, not to interrupt the power supply
nor remove the CF card while the data are being saved (i.e. until the green focus
lamp and RECORDING stop blinking). Otherwise, your data on the CF card might be
damaged or lost entirely.

FOCUSING
FOCUS LAMP
In the autofocus mode, the camera focuses as soon as the shutter release is pressed halfway.
If the green focus lamp blinks, check the
following:
• Is the camera in the autofocus mode and are
you trying to focus on a subject that is difficult
to focus automatically? (See page 37)
• Is your subject closer than the minimum
focusing distance (or farther away than 40 cm in
the macro mode)?
Focus lamp lit
Focus lamp blinks rapidly
(approx. 8 times per second)
FOCUSING RANGE IN AUTOFOCUS MODE
(shortest focusing distance)
The minimum focusing distance in autofocus mode is listed below. If your subject is closer
than 0,4 m or farther away than 40 cm in macro mode, autofocusing is impossible, and the
green focus lamp will blink.
Standard mode 0.4 m - ∞ (infinity)
Macro mode (see page 53) 4 cm – 40 cm
Focus detection impossible, but shutter can be
Focus set and locked in
released
36
FOCUSING
SPECIAL FOCUSING CONDITIONS
In the autofocus mode, the camera uses the image contrast (the difference between bright
and dark components) on the CCD (charge-coupled device) for focus detection. This is why
there are certain types of subject that are unsuitable for autofocusing. In such a case use focus
lock (see page 38): Sight a subject detail at the same distance as your main subject and lock
focus. Alternatively, you may switch to manual focusing (see page 39).
Subject too dark.
Subject contrast too low (e.g. blue sky or
white wall).
Autofocus area captures detail at different
distances.
Subject too bright (e.g. highly reflecting car
paint or glittering water surface).
37
FOCUSING
FOCUS LOCK
(for off-center subjects)
If your main subject is off center, the camera will focus on the background in the center of the
field. In this case, use focus lock.
Place the autofocus area over your main subject in
1
the center of the viewfinder or center your subject
on the LCD screen and press the shutter release
halfway.
• The camera focuses automatically and locks in
the focus setting for as long as you keep the
shutter release depressed halfway. The green

BUILT-IN FLASH
There are five flash modes to accommodate different lighting conditions and subjects.
AUTOFLASH In this mode, the flash will fire automatically in
low light or backlight.
FILL FLASH In this mode, the flash will fire regardless of
available light. It can thus be used to avoid harsh
foreground shadows in daylight shots.
FLASH OFF Disable the flash if your subject is out of flash
range or flash is not allowed.
AUTOFLASH WITH REDEYE REDUCTION
FILL FLASH WITH REDEYE REDUCTION
Use these modes to avoid red-eye in flash shots
of people or animals. In these modes, the main
flash is preceded by a number of weak
preflashes. It is advisable to mount the camera
on a tripod.
Flash range
To avoid underexposure, make sure that your subject is within flash range.

CHOOSING IMAGE QUALITY
The camera has three image-quality modes: FINE, STD. (Standard) and ECON. (Economy).
Image quality is a function of compression rate. This changes in the following order: FINE Æ
STD. Æ ECON. The higher the compression rate, the lower image quality. For maximum quality
choose FINE. The lower the compression rate (the higher image quality), the lower the number
of images that can be saved on a CF card.
The following table lists the compression rates, capture format, file sizes and the number of
images that can be stored on an 8MB CF card in FINE, STD. and ECON. mode, respectively.
Compression rate FINE STD. (Standard) ECON. (Economy)
approx. 1/6STD. approx. 1/12 approx. 1/25

DPOF PRINT SETTINGS
Your digital camera supports DPOF‘ (Digital Print Order Format), version 1.00. This lets you
select the type and number of prints. In other words, you may turn over your CompactFlash or
SmartMedia card on which you have saved your images together with DPOF data directly to
your processing laboratory to obtain the preselected number of prints. Neither need you
assign file names nor a password to the DPOF files. Alternatively, you may insert your memory
card directly in your printer (which should support DPOF) for automatic printout of the preset
number of copies.
* The DPOF format was developed jointly by the Eastman Kodak Company, Canon Inc., Fuji
Photo Film Co., Ltd., and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., with the purpose of
permitting print settings to be made directly in digital cameras.
* Your Rollei 23 com does not support the DPOF version 1.10 introduced in July 2000.
