3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE FLASH MODE The following flash modes can be selected. ■ FLASH modes ( )Multi program flash mode ( ) Red-eye reduction flash mode ( ) Back light compensation flash mode ( ) Flash-off mode ( ) Night portrait (slow sync) mode ∗ ∗ ∗ Unless the mode is set, the mode is set when the power is turned off. The mode is automatically cancelled per shot. When you want to use this mode continuously, hold the MENU/SET button down for 2 seconds or longer after selecting the mode.
1 2 3 40 1 Turn the camera on and press the MENU/SET button. ☞ The LCD lights orange, the flash menu blinks/lights and the flash mode selection mode is entered. 2 Press the buttons and select the FLASH mode. ☞ The selected mode blinks. 3 Press the MENU/SET button to complete the setting. ☞ The LCD changes to green and the mode which has been set is displayed.
The operating range of the film (flash distance) will vary depending upon the film’s sensitivity (ISO speed). When using flash, keep your subject within the range of the effective flash illumination as indicated in the chart below. Effective flash range Film speed Wide angle (28 mm) ISO 100 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 0.65 – 2.9 m 2.1 – 9.5 ft. 0.65 – 5.8 m 2.1 – 19.0 ft. 0.65 – 8.1 m 2.1 – 26.6 ft. 0.65 – 11.6 m 2.1 – 38.1 ft.

( ) Multi program flash mode Used for general photography. The quantity of light emitted by the flash is adjusted automatically according to the brightness of the subject, the distance, and the zoom magnification. ∗ For bright remote scenes, the flash does not fire. ( ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The flash will fire briefly 10 times (pre-flash), then fire the 11th time for taking a picture.
Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Red-eye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken. This causes the pupil to contract, reducing this reflection.
( ) Back light compensation flash mode Use this mode to avoid deep shadows when photographing against the light such as a person standing in front of a window or under a tree with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking flash photographs. Unlike the multi program flash mode, the flash fires even in bright places. ( ) Flash-off mode Used when taking pictures under normal room lighting or taking pictures of subject beyond flash range such as in a theatre or a stadium.
( ) Night portrait (slow sync) mode Used when taking portraits to record the background in a night scene. Your camera will be placed in the slow shutter speed/red-eye reduction mode (The flash fires briefly 10 times (pre-flash), then fires the 11th time for taking a picture.), allowing you to take both the night scene and your subject clearly. ∗ This mode is automatically cancelled per shot.
SELECTING THE SELF-TIMER MODE The following self-timer/remote control modes can be selected. ■ SELF-TIMER modes ( ) Self-timer/Remote control off mode (normal mode) ( ) Self-timer mode (1 shot) ( ) Self-timer mode (2 continuous shots) ( ) Self-timer mode (3 continuous shots) ( ) Remote control mode (→p.49) ∗ ∗ ∗ 46 The The The mode is automatically set when the power is turned off. mode is automatically cancelled per shot. mode is not cancelled after shooting.

(→p.28) ( ) Landscape mode Used when taking landscape pictures or photographing remote (night) scenes through window glass. The lens is focused for the distant subjects. The flash does not fire in this mode. ∗ ∗ This mode is automatically cancelled per shot. After the picture has been taken, the flash mode is also automatically set to the mode.
A ( ) Macro mode The macro mode is used when you want to take large pictures of small subjects such as flowers and insects. A : Parallax correction marks The focal distance is fixed at 100 mm. Compose the picture so that the subject that you want to photograph is within the frame. ∗ ∗ The focusing range for sharp pictures is from 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) to 1.0 m (3.3 ft.). This mode is automatically cancelled per shot.
MULTI PROGRAM FLASH A word on multi program flash A new function which allows the camera to automatically adjust the quantity of light emitted by the flash by analyzing the brightness of the subject, the distance, and the focal length of the lens. The flash always fires automatically unless the subject is bright or too far. This programmed flash allows anyone to take clear pictures simply. Some practical examples are introduced to explain the effects.
◆ Portrait photography under very bright light When a person is photographed in bright daylight, his (her) face is likely to be spotted with the shadows of hair and nose. Even in such a case, the multi program flash automatically fires to reduce the shadows. It seems unnecessary to use the flash in a bright place. However, you will understand the effect by comparing a picture taken with the flash used and a picture taken without using the flash.
TROUBLE SHOOTING During operation Problems The shutter release won’t trip. Possible Causes ” symbol is blinking. 1 “ 2 Power switch is not on. 3 Is “ ” blinking on the LCD? 4 “ ” is lit on the exposure counter. 5 Is the AF lamp blinking in the mode? The numerals on the exposure counter blink. After loading the film it rewound immediately. After loading the film and closing the camera back, the exposure counter does not advance.
Printed pictures Problems Picture is not sharp. Possible Causes Solutions Page 1 Was your finger on the AF windows when shooting? 2 Did you aim the subject properly? 1 When shooting a picture, hold your camera correctly so that your finger is not on the AF windows. 2 Compose the picture in the AF frame and shoot, or shoot using AF Lock. 3 Clean the lens. 4 Hold the camera firmly and press the shutter release button gently. Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds. 5 Select a mode other than mode.
COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE 1 Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is a precision instrument and requires thoughtful handling.
