When taking a picture with the subject closer than
1.7m (5.6 ft.), the viewfinder image and the actual
film image is going to be different. The difference
increases as the subject becomes closer, or when
taking telephoto pictures. At the closest range, the
top of the actual film image is located below the close
framing guide.

• When taking pictures at extremely close distances, the green focus lamp may
blink slowly, but the focus may not be accurate.
• If the green focus lamp blinks rapidly and the shutter locks, the subject is too
close. Be sure your camera-to-subject distance is at least 60 cm (W), 85 cm (T).
