TAKING PICTURES
1. Turn on the camera button by pressing power
button. The lens cover opens and the lens barrel
is moving out to the shooting position (wide-angle
position of 35 mm focal length). At that time, the
status LCD panel is activated.
If the front surface of the lens is soiled or dusty,
lightly wipe with a clean dry cloth.
2. While looking through the viewfinder eyepiece,
press the zoom T or W button.
If the zoom T button is pressed, the zoom lens is
shifted to the telephoto side (f=70mm). If the
zoom W button is pressed, the lens is shifted to
the wide-angle side (f=35mm). Stop pressing the
zoom T or W button at a point where you are
satisfied with the way the picture is composed.
3. Point the camera so that subject you want to focus
on is the center of the viewfinder (auto-focus
frame).
4. Press the shutter button halfway until the ready
LED comes on (green light). The focus is
automatically set.
5. Press the shutter button all the way down to take
the picture. The film counter will advance one
frame.
6. When shooting is completed, turn off the camera
power and the lens will retract into the camera
body.
If the camera is left on, its power will automatically
turn off approximately five minutes after the last
operation. The lens barrel retracts and the status
LCD panel is also turned off.
