Pentax Zoom 280-P - Green;Red Lamps and Ordinary Mode

4 . GREEN/RED LAMPS 5. ORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHY
When you depress the
shutter release button
halfway down, the lamps
O and/or @ light up or
blink as shown above.
O Green lamp: When the subject is in focus, it will
light up to indicate that you can
take the picture; when the subject
is not in focus, it will blink, indicat¬
ing that you cannot take the pic¬
ture because the camera-to-subject
distance is too close.
Q Red lamp: When the flash is ready to dis¬
charge, it will light up. When the
flash is being charged, it will blink.
Notes:
• If the subject is too close, the green lamp blinks.
Adjust the camera-to-subject distance so that the
green lamp lights continuously, then release the
shutter.
• If the subject is even closer, the green lamp may
light continuously.
When the power
is switched on,
the camera
automatically
selects the
Auto and
Single-Frame
Shooting modes and the exposure counter indica¬
tion remains on as shown above. The built-in flash
will discharge automatically when the subject is
poorly illuminated or backlit.
• When the LCD panel display is different from the
one shown above (which indicates the other
modes are set), switching power OFF and then
ON restores the Auto and Single-Frame Shooting
modes.
