Contax T3 - Basic Shooting Process

Turn the main switch from
“G ” to “P”.
The camera is turned on, the
lens barrier automatically
opens, and the lens extends to
its shooting position. The
camera automatically defaults
to the following modes:
1. Focusing - ♦ automatic focus
The camera lens automatically focuses whenever the shutter
release button is depressed halfway.
2. Exposure - ► Programmed automatic exposure “P”
The camera automatically selects the optimum combination of
shutter speed and aperture for the ambient lighting conditions.
This mode is ideal for snapshots.
3. F lash mode - ► automatic flash mode “ J ''“ ™ ”
in this mode, the flash fires automatically when shooting in dark or
strongly backlit situations. When the shutter release button is
depressed halfway, the viewfinder display will show the “ ^ ’’ mark
if the flash is going to fire.
• Whenever you do not intend to use the camera immediately, turn off the
main switch to prevent accidental tripping of the shutter.
