Pentax Zoom 60-X - Ordinary Photography

When you press the
shutter release button
halfway, the lamps O and
0 shown on the left glow
or flicker.
O Green lamp
When it glows, the subject is in focus. When using the
focus lock function, it indicates that focus and exposure
are temporarily locked (refer to page 14).
o Red lamp
When it glows, the flash is ready to fire. When it
flickers, the flash is being charged.
Note:
• If the green lamp flickers, the subject is too close.
Adjust the camera-to-subject distance so that the green
lamp glows, then release the shutter. (When the subject
is even closer, at less than 30 cm (1 ft), the green l^p
may glow).
5. ORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHY
(AUTO AND SINGLE-FRAME SHOOTING)
When the power is
switched on, the camera
enters the ordinary
shooting mode. (The
LCD panel displays only
the exposure counter
indication whether the power is on or off.) In this mode,
the flash fires automatically in dimly lit places.
Notes:
• If the LCD panel displays indications other than those
above, switching the power off, then on again resets the
LCD panel to appear as above.
• The shutter speed when the flash fires automatically is
approximately 1/40 sec.
