To operate the camera, move the main
switch to "ON ." This allows current to flow to
the Touch switch/operating button . The main
switch also serves as the self-timer and battery
check switch.
To prevent accidental exposures and need-
less
battery drain, always be sure to move the
main switch to "OFF" when nqt using the
camera.
Touch switch/operating button
Finger contact with the Touch switch/-
operating button activates the camera's electro-
nic shutter and when the shutter-speed/func-
tion selector is set at "A" (automatic), powers
the electronic exposure control and LED cir-
cuits.
If proper contact with the touch switch is
not possible (i .e., while wearing gloves or when
fingers are dry), slight pressure on the button
will also activate the camera.
