9.Sharp
Focus
(Fig.
17)
Sharp focusing
is
performed
in
the
l-_l
section
at the
center
of the
finder
(Fig.
l7).
There
are two methods
of focusing.
Use the method
that is
easiest
for the subjecr
being
phorographed.
To
put picture
in focus, place
eye aicentei
of view finder
eyepiece
@
and look into
finder.
@Dual
image
merging
method
(Fig.
1B)
This is
the method
most
commonly
used. When
taking pictures
of
people
and focusing
on the subjects'
eyes, look
into
the finder
and
move
the lens focus
rlng
until the
dual images
in
l--l
(Fig.
lg-l)
become
one
(Fig.
l8-2).
@Vertical
merging
method
(Fig.
19)
When
taki.ng
pictures
of the
edges
of a subject
or
vertical
objects
such
as buildings
or
towers,
and the
subject is
jutting
out vertically
from

Unloading
the Film
(Fis.20)
Z
When
the loaded
lilrn
reaches
the
end, it
is automatically
rewound.
7
The
rewind
will
automatically
stop
when
it is complete
and the
film
counter
will
show
"0"
blinking.
Open the
baik cover
and
remove
the film.
* Do
not remove
film
in
any location
that
is exposed
to
direct
sunlight.
*
We recommend
that film
be developed
as soon
as
possible
after
it
has
been exoosed.
* Film
can
be rewound
with
the
tip out.
Immediately
before
the
film
has
completed rewind
and
after the
"1"
liehti
in the film
counter.
the film
will
stop
for
abour one
second
with..--"
displayed
(Fig.
2l). Ifyou
open the
back cover now,
the film
tip
will remain
out.
Make
sure
that
you
don't
make
a mistake
and
reuse
that film
asain.
* Film rewinds
can be
paused
temporarily.
If
the main
switch lever
is
turned while
the rewind
is
in operation,
the
power
will
go
off
and
the rewind
will
stop. Turn
the
power
on again.
This is
an
excellent
function
to use when
taking pictures
at
places
like
wedding
ceremonies
where you
don't want
the rewind
noise
heard
(you
want
to
pause
the rewind).
