AUTO-FOCUS SHOOTING
1. Set the subject you wish to take within the Auto-Focus Frame in the center of
the Viewfinder. (Fig. 23)
2. When you press the Shutter Release Button halfway, the AF monitor will light
up. If the AF monitor blinks (When the subject is closer than 0.8 m (2.6 ft.)), you
should move back a little as your camera is too close to the subject. (Fig. 24)
* The AF monitor may light steadily if the subject is 0.4 m (1.3 ft.) or closer to the
camera Releasing the shutter in this case will result in an out of focus picture.
Therefore, let go of the Shutter Release Button and adjust your distance to make
sure the subject is at least 0.8 m (2.6 ft.) away from the camera. Then point at the
subject once again and press the Shutter Release Button.

3. Gently press the Shutter Release down to take a picture. The film will advance automatically after the shutter
teas been released.
* Avoid pressing the Shutter Release Button too abruptly to avoid camera shake or possible misoperation.
* Please be careful not to accidentally cover the Distance Measuring Windows at the front of your camera, as this
will cause the incorrect focusing.
* Please keep the Distance Measuring Windows clean so that focusing is accurate. If they get dirty, they should be
wiped clean with a soft cloth.
* There may be rare cases where the subject cannot be well focused. (For instance, dark subject that do not reflect
light well, glossy subjects, or subject taken through glass.) In the cases, it is best to use the Pre-Focus technique to
"lock" the focus on a more "normal" subject at the same distance. While holding focus, turn your camera back to
the original subject and shoot. (See PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING for more details.)
