CHANGING THE CAMERA MODES
The camera has five modes.
Press the mode button until the
desired indicator is displayed on
the data panel.
Each time the mode button is
pressed the mode cycles as
shown. When the camera is
turned off, the mode is reset to
autoflash.
The flash will automatically fire in
low light when the shutter is
released to take the picture.
The flash range depends on the film
speed and focal length in use. To
ensure proper exposure, the subject
must be within the flash range.
1.Place the camera on a tripod.
Press the mode button until the
self-timer indicator ( ) is dis-
played on the data panel.
2.Place the focus frame on the
subject. Press the shutter-
release button all the way down
to start the countdown.
• The self-timer indicator on the data panel
and the self-timer lamp will blink during
the countdown. The self-timer lamp glows
steadily just before the shutter releases.
• Self-timer is automatically canceled after
the shutter is released.
• To stop the self-timer, press the mode
button. To cancel the self-timer and reset
the camera, press the main switch.
The self-timer delays release of the
shutter for approximately 10 seconds
after the shutter-release button is
pressed.
The flash fires with each exposure
regardless of the amount of ambient
light. Fill-flash can be used to reduce
harsh shadows caused by strong
direct light or sunshine.
Press the mode button until the
fill-flash indicator ( ) is displayed
on the data panel. Take the pic-
ture as described in the full-auto
operation section.
The flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when
flash photography is prohibited, natural light
is desired to illuminate the subject, or the
subject is beyond the flash range.
Press the mode button until flash-cancel
indicator ( ) is displayed on the data
panel. Take the picture as described in
the full-auto operation section.
• Shutter speeds may be slow. The use of a tripod
is recommended.
The flash will not fire in this mode and the
focus is set to infinity. Landscape/night view
is used for photographing outdoor scenery
during the day or at night.
Press the mode button until land-
scape/night-view indicator ( ) is dis-
played on the data panel. Take the pic-
ture as described in the full-auto opera-
tion section.
• Shutter speeds may be slow. The use of a tripod
is recommended.
• Always use this mode when photographing land-
scapes through windows.
FOCUS LOCK
SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
Focus lock is used when you want to com-
pose the image with the subject off-center
and outside the focus frame.
1.Place the focus frame on the subject
and press the shutter-release button
partway down until the green indicator
lamp glows steadily.
2.Without lifting your finger, recompose
the picture. Press the shutter-release
button all the way down to take the
picture.
• Focus lock is canceled when the shutter button
is released.
The camera may not be able to focus in cer-
tain situations. In these situations, the focus-
lock function can be used to focus on an
object at the same distance as the main
subject, and then the image can be recom-
posed to take the picture.
The autofocus system may not be able to
focus on the the following:
• Bright light sources such neon lights.
• Highly reflective surfaces such as water or mir-
rors.
• Flames or fireworks.
• Dark objects and surfaces with low reflectance.
• Objects behind glass, bars, or other partitions.
• Objects smaller than the focus frame.
