FLASH PICTURES
Your camera has Hot Shoe (N) on top of camera which permits you to use a direct contact type electronic flash
unit and Flash Socket (R) on one side of body to enable you to use electronic flash unit with connecting cord.
If your electronic flash unit is of direct contact type, simply mount it onto Hot Shoe (N)
(Fig. 18). No other setting is
necessary. If you have an electronic
flash unit with connecting cord,
mount the flash unit onto Hot Shoe
(N) and connect the end of
connecting cord to Flash Socket (R).
Regardless the type of electronic
flash unit, set shutter speed at 1/60
or 1/30. Setting the shutter speed at
faster speed than 1/60 will result in
unsynchronized picture.
· Flash Bulbs cannot be used
because only X contact via Hot
Shoe (N) or Flash Socket (R) is
available.
· Never deeply touch the central part
of Flash Socket (R) when you use
an electronic flash unit by mounting
it onto Hot Shoe (N).
UNLOADING FILM
Always unload your camera in the shade, never in bright light.
After the last picture on the roll has been taken, depress Shutter Release Button (D). Press Rewind Button (V)
and lift up crank on Film Rewind Knob (M). Turn crank in a clockwise direction until the entire roll has been
rewound. Tension on the crank will decrease noticeably (Fig. 19). Open camera back by pulling Back Cover
Latch (T), and remove the film cartridge. Have film processed as soon as possible.
TIPS FOR BETTER PICTURES
· Read the instruction book carefully
· Before you go on a trip or photograph a special event, shoot a practice roll
· Keep fingers and neck strap clear of the camera lens.
· When you reach the end of the roll of film [check Exposure Counter (F), Film-Advance Lever (C) becomes
harder to advance .. don't try for "Just one more shot", it's time to rewind.
