For

the viewfin-
der image
of the

the
shorter
the
focu-
sing
distance.

Aim
the

the
main
sub-
ject
to
be in

is within
this

(it
is
not necessary
that
it fills
it).
e:
Green
LED
(16)
lf
the
green
LED
lights
up when
the
shutter release
button
(1)
is

ifed,
this
indicates
that
focus
point
and
exposure
have
been
measured
as
well
as
stored
in
memory.
When
the
green
LED
flashes
at long
intervals,
this is
a warning
for
possible
camera
shake
in
low
lighting
conditions
with
the flash
switched
off.
Ygu

re.t
The
green

too
close
(under
60
cm
Qa
in.)).
In
this
case,
the
shutter
release
will
also
