1 1. PRELIMINARY STEPS ATTACHING THE STRAP Slip the thin cord on the carrying strap through the strap lug on the side of the camera leaving a loop. Slide the thick part of the strap through this loop and pull tight. Take up any slack to make sure the strap is securely attached to the camera. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or similar electronic products. These straps are usually too light to hold your camera securely. Use straps designed for cameras for safety.
LOADING THE BATTERY Your camera uses one 3V lithium battery 1 CR123A/DL 123A or the equivalent. To load the battery. 1 Open the battery compartment cover by inserting a small tool into the cover slot. 2 Insert the battery following instructions in the diagram on the inside of the battery cover paying particular attention to the position of the , and . poles of the battery. The battery must be inserted the right way or the camera will not operate.
TURNING ON YOUR CAMERA To prepare to use your camera, first press the power supply button to turn on the power. Pressing the button once more turns the power off. ∗ ∗ When you turn your camera on, the lens cover will open and the initial display will appear in the LCD. When you are finished using your camera, turn the power off to conserve your battery. If the power supply is left on for more than seven minutes without the camera being used, the camera will automatically turn itself off.
SETTING THE DATE (YEAR-MONTH-DAY/HOUR-MINUTE) 1 Your camera can imprint the date or the time on your picture when you make your exposure. To set your camera for imprinting, first turn on the power and then hold down the DATE button for at least 2 seconds or longer. ☞ The year signal will blink and the camera will enter the date/time setting mode.
3 To cancel the date/time setting mode, press the DATE button after changing the minutes. ☞ To set the time (hour or minute) by the radio, press in the DATE button when the time signal ∗ 10 indicates zero. The year, month, and day will change together with the hour and minute.
SELECTING THE DATE MODE The date and time (year-month-day/ hour-minute) will be imprinted at the lower right of the photograph. ∗ The date display printed on the front of the picture may not be clearly visible against a dark background.
Turn your camera on and then press the DATE button to select the desired date mode. ☞ The date and time will be printed based on the mode you select. Y : Year M : Month D : Day T : Time The date/time mode changes in the order shown in the illustration. YMD M DY D MY T 12 ∗ ∗ If “- - - - - -” is chosen, no date will appear on the photograph. After the date and time are corrected, the date/time mode is reset to “YMD”. Change the date/ time mode after correcting the date and time.
2. USING YOUR CAMERA A LOADING THE CAMERA Almost all 35mm films that your camera uses will have a DX coding symbol on the film box and on the film cassette itself. Information you will see includes: A : Number of Exposures B : DX Code symbol C : Film Speed (sensitivity to light or ISO rating) B • If non-DX coded film is used, the camera’s automatic exposure system automatically sets itself to ISO C 100. • Always load and remove film from your camera away from direct sunlight.
Insert the roll of film. 2 A : FILM TIP mark Pull the end of the film leader out as far as film tip mark. 3 14 ∗ A If you pull the film too far out of the canister, remove the film and adjust the length.
4 Make sure the end of the film is threaded onto the spool.
5 Close the camera back. ☞ The film advances automatically. Prewinding finishes in about 20 seconds (with 24-exposure ∗ film). The type, number of exposures, and speed of the film that has been loaded may be checked with the film check window. This camera counts the frames starting at the highest number. Film is advanced one frame at a time inside the magazine. 6 16 Check the exposure counter (telling the number of exposures remaining).
USING YOUR FINDER C The finder of your camera provides the control you need to take better, more interesting pictures. The finder includes: A : Framing Area Compose your picture within these framelines. A B : AF (auto-focus) frame For sharp focus, position this frame over the main subject being photographed. B C : Close-up Frame Use this when photographing subjects closer than 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) from your camera. (→p.
With the close-up picture C A : Viewfinder B : Print finishing C : Parallax correction mark When photographing a subject closer than about 1.5 m (4.9 ft.), the area shown in the diagram at left will be printed. A B C A 18 B When taking close ups, the area seen through the viewfinder and the area actually photographed will be different. (Because the viewfinder and the lens are in different locations.
1 USING YOUR CAMERA Turn the camera on and hold it firmly using both hands as shown in the illustration. When taking vertical pictures, hold the camera with the flash unit at the top. Before taking important, once-in-a-lifetime pictures such as weddings or special events, take a few test shots to make sure your camera is functioning correctly. If you purchased your camera before going on a trip, shoot a roll or two to familiarize yourself with the operation of the camera.
3 To use the zoom lens, press the mark until you get the composition you want in the finder. Pressing the mark will set the lens at the shorter focal lengths to obtain wide-angle effects. ∗ 4 20 The focusing range for sharp pictures is from 0.9m (3.0ft.) to infinity. Aim at your subject so that it is covered by the whole AF frame.
5 6 Press down the shutter release halfway. ☞ Focusing is complete when the AF lamp (green) lights up. ∗ If you are closer than 90 cm (35 in.) to the subject, the AF lamp will start blinking to warn that the subject cannot be focused. Note that if you are closer than 35 cm (14 in.) to the subject, the AF lamp turns on but the subject cannot be focused. Press the shutter button down completely. ☞ The film advances to the next frame.
Under low light when flash must be used, the following chart gives you the effective flash range for correct exposures for films of various speeds. Note that high-speed film (ISO 400/800) extends your flash range significantly. Effective flash range Film speed ISO 100 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 Wide angle (38 mm) Telephoto(140mm) 0.9 – 2.8 m 3.0 – 9.2 ft. 0.9 – 5.6 m 3.0 – 18.4 ft. 0.9 – 7.9 m 3.0 – 25.9 ft. 0.9 – 11.2 m 3.0 – 36.7 ft. 0.9 – 2.0 m 3.0 – 6.6 ft. 0.9 – 4.0 m 3.0 – 13.1 ft. 0.9 – 5.6 m 3.
Under certain unusual conditions, the camera’s autofocus system may not be able to function accurately. At these times, you should use the “Autofocus Lock” setting or the “Landscape Mode” setting (→p.24,33).
1 2 24 USING THE AUTO-FOCUS LOCK In the composition shown at left, the AF frame is off the subject (in this case, the people). In this case the lens will not focus on the subject. Move the camera to position the AF frame over the subject.
3 4 With the AF frame positioned over the subject, press down the shutter release button halfway to set the auto-focus lock. ☞ Check that the AF lamp (green) lights up. While holding the shutter release button halfway down to keep the Auto-Focus lock on, move the camera back to the original position to recompose your picture, then press the shutter release button all the way down. ∗ The Auto-Focus lock operation can be repeated any number of times before the shutter trips.
1 UNLOADING THE FILM OR REMOVING FILM IN MID-ROLL To Unload the Film After the last frame on a roll of film has been exposed, the film is automatically rewound. ∗ If the camera back should accidentally open during shooting, do not remove the film. Instead, close the back and leave your film as is. When the back is closed, the film continues to rewind automatically: this protects all the frames on the roll from exposure to light except the last picture made.
1 Slide the camera back lock in the direction indicated by the arrow. 2 Open the camera back in the direction indicated by the arrow. 2 ∗ Do not apply unnecessary force to the camera back. 2 1 3 Remove the film.

Film cannot be reused once it has been rewound. Do not press the removing the film for developing.
3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE Your camera offers six exposure modes to give you successful pictures under a wide range of photographic situations with various subjects.
Each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order: ☞ 30 → → → → →
( : no display) Automatic flash at low brightness mode Used for general photography. The flash lamp fires automatically when the brightness of the subject is lower than the predetermined level. ( ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 1 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires. Once the red-eye reduction lamp has come on, the AF Lamp will remain lit until the picture is taken. Do not move the camera while the AF Lamp is lit.
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.
( ) Flash off mode Used when taking pictures with normal room lighting being utilized, or taking pictures of remote subjects beyond the range of the flash, for example, in a theater or a stadium. The flash stops firing. ∗ ( When taking pictures under low light, use a tripod whenever possible to avoid unsharp pictures resulting from camera shake. ) Landscape mode Used when taking landscape pictures or photographing remote (night) scenes through window glass.
( ) Night portrait (slow sync) mode Used when taking portraits to record the background in a night scene. The slow shutter speed/red-eye reduction flash mode can be used to make sure that both people and nighttime background scenery are photographed clearly. (After the red-eye reduction lamp has blinked for about 1 seconds, the flash fires.) ∗ This mode is automatically cancelled per shot.
1 USING THE SELF-TIMER Press the → 2 button. ☞ The self-timer can be used to take up to 3 consecutive exposures. ☞ Each press of the button changes the self-timer mode in the following order: → 1 Position the AF frame over the main subject, and then compose the image within the framing area. 2 Press down the shutter release button. ☞ The camera focuses on the subject that the AF frame is positioned over, and then the self-timer starts. ☞ You can select the Auto-Focus lock mode also (→p.24).
3 After the self-timer lamp remains lit for about 7 seconds, it blinks for about 3 seconds, and then the shutter is released. When taking consecutive exposures, the shutter is released the set number of times at an interval of between 3 and 7 seconds. • To cancel the self-timer mode after the self-timer has started, press the button. • The self-timer mode is automatically cancelled after a photo is taken or the camera is turned off.

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE 1 Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is a precision instrument and requires thoughtful handling. In particular, avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical abuse such as dropping it on the floor. 5 It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras containing film be carried as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections may cause overprinting or other effects.
