Main switch
To operate the camera, move the main
switch
to "ON." This allows current to flow to
the touch switch/operating button. The mian
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 not using the
camera.
Touch switch/operating button
Finger contact with the touch switch/oper -
ating
button activates the camera's electronic
shutter and, when the shutter-function selector
is set at "AUTO", powers the electronic ex·
posure control and LED circuits. 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.
