FINDER / AUTOFOCUS LED

Autofocus display

If you press the shutter release lightly, the
green LED will light up or flash.

›

If the LED lights up, the conditions are right
for taking a photo, the flash is ready.

›

If the LED flashes quickly, the subject is too
close (below 0.65 m with wide-angle and
telephoto).

›

If the LED flashes slowly,

›

the shutter speed is too slow, use a tri­pod.

›

the camera cannot focus.

Finder

The camera is equipped with a real-image
zoom finder.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Inserting the battery

The camera takes a 3 V lithium battery e.g. CR 2/
DL CR 2. A NiCad battery should not be used.

›

Unlock the battery compartment cover (15)
and open it.

›

Insert the battery with the poles the right way
round.

›

Close the cover and secure it in place.

›

Always switch off the camera before chang­ing the battery.

Make sure the old battery is disposed of properly!

Note:

If you are not using the camera for several
weeks, take the battery out.

Important

›

The date shown in the display disappears 5
seconds after the battery has bee removed.
You will therefore have to reset the date
when you put in a new battery.

›

Should the battery run out while the film is
rewinding, insert a new battery and continue
the rewinding process by pressing on the
rewind button (22). When the rewinding pro­cedure has finished, the frame counter will
show “E”.

BATTERY STATUS

Battery status

Switch on the camera with the master switch
(13) and check the battery symbol on the LCD
monitor (21):

›

Full battery icon: battery is fully charged.

›

Low battery warning: battery should be re­placed. When this symbol appears, there is
enough power left for about one more film.

›

If the battery symbol flashes, there is not
enough power left to operate the camera.
Replace the battery.

Note:

The available battery capacity decreases at
lower temperatures. In cold weather, it is ad­visable to keep a spare battery ready.

Attaching the hand strap

›

Pull the thin end of the hand strap through
the eyelet (1), then push the long end through
the loop and tighten.

LOADING A FILM

Loading a film

›

Open the back of the camera (23) using the
unlocking button (9).

›

Place the film in the film compartment, push
it in firmly and pull out the film until the
beginning of the film reaches the take-up
spool.

›

Make sure the film is lying flat on the film
guide.

›

Close the back again and the motor will
automatically advance the film to frame 1.

›

If the film has been correctly loaded, the
display will show frame 1.

›

If not, open the back again and repeat the
loading procedure as described above.

Note:

The camera is designed for DX-coded 35 mm
film. The film speed is set automatically within
the range ISO 50/18° to 3200/36°.

Never insert the film in direct sunlight.
