Autoflash mode (
), autoflash with red-eye
reduction (
), manual fill-flash ( ) or
flash cancel (
) can be selected.
Press the flash-mode button until the desired
indicator appears in the data panel.
The sequence is as shown.
• When you turn the camera on, the built-in flash is set to
autoflash or autoflash with red-eye reduction, whichever
mode was last used.
The range of the built-in flash depends
on the film speed and focal length you
are using. To ensure proper exposure,
make sure your subject is positioned
within the flash range.
• Do not hold the flash down; the shutter may not
release.
• For vertically framed pictures, hold the camera so the
flash is on top.
While pressing the shutter-release button partway down:
• The orange flash lamp will glow whenever the built-in
flash is on.
• When the orange flash lamp blinks slowly, your scene is
too dark for a sharp hand-held picture. Use flash or
place the camera on a tripod.
• When the orange flash lamp blinks rapidly, the flash is
charging. Wait until it glows steadily, then take the
picture. Flash recharge time is approximately 0.3 to 7
seconds.
In this flash mode, the flash will fire a few short
bursts before the main flash burst to reduce the
“red-eye” effect which occurs when photographing
people in low light.
Press the flash-mode button until
appears
in the data panel, then take the picture.
• Before taking the picture, warn your subjects that the
flash will fire a few short bursts before the picture is
taken.
• The orange flash lamp will blink indicating preflash.
The flash will fire with every shutter release
regardless of lighting. This can be used to reduce
harsh, unflattering shadows on your subject’s face
or illuminate your subject when it is back-lit.
RED-EYE REDUCTION MODE
Press the flash-mode button until
appears
in the data panel, then take the picture.
With flash-cancel, the flash will not fire. This mode
should be used when photographing twilight
scenes or subjects that are beyond the flash
range.
Press the flash-mode button until
appears
in the data panel, then take the picture.
• When the flash is cancelled, shutter speeds may be
slow. Placing your camera on a tripod is recommended.
MANUAL FILL-FLASH MODE
In autoflash mode, the flash will fire in low light.
AUTOFLASH MODE
FLASH CANCEL MODE
The self-timer delays release of the shutter for
approximately 10 seconds after the shutter-release
button is pressed.
➀
Place the camera on a tripod and press the
self-timer/drive-mode button until
appears in the data panel.
➁
Align your subject within the focus frame,
then press the shutter-release button.
• The self-timer indicator in the data panel and the self-
timer lamp will blink slowly during the countdown and
blink rapidly just before the shutter releases.
• Self-timer is automatically cancelled after the shutter is
released.
• To stop the self-timer, press the self-timer/drive-mode
button. Cancel the self-timer operation by turning the
camera off or pressing the self-timer button until
disappears from the data panel.
In this mode, the camera continuously takes
pictures and advances the film as long as the
shutter-release button is held down.
➀
Press the self-timer/drive-mode button until
appears in the data panel.
➁
Press the shutter-release button down and
hold.
• Without flash, the shutter will release every 1.2
seconds; with flash, the shutter will release when the
flash is charged.
• Continuous-drive mode remains selected after you
finish the series.
• The subject-program mode remains selected as long as
you are pressing the shutter-release button. When you
have finished a series, the subject-program selection is
reset to auto.
The optional IR Remote Control RC-3 allows
remote camera operation up to 6 meters (19.7
feet) away.
• The remote control will not operate with backlit
subjects.
• Bright light or reflections entering the viewfinder may
affect the camera’s meter reading.
