(Fig. 1 )View original page 6
Page 7 · Read text
2) Place the battery correctly in the battery compartment in accordance with the marks inside and close the cover. Use a 6 V lithium battery of the "2CR-5" type. (Fig. 2) B. Battery Check Slide the Main Power Switch to the "ON" position. If the film counter and battery check mark are lighted on the LCD panel at this time, power is being supplied to the camera circuitry. The marks will stay lighted for 60 seconds until an automatic power shut-off system goes into effect. (Fig. 3) Note: When any of the following occurs, it means that the battery condition is too low for continued use and the battery should be replaced with a new one. --The battery check mark is blinking.View original page 7
Page 8 · Read text
--The battery check mark is blinking and the shutter is locked.
-- Nothing appears on the LCD panel.
Battery life: Approximately 24, 24-exposure rolls, using 50% flash. (CHINON Laboratory testing)
When a new battery is correctly installed and the LCD indication is still not displayed correctly remove the
battery and reinstall it again.
A memory back up system memorizes the frame counter as well as the film speed for a short time even without
a battery. However, it is recommended to replace the battery as quickly as possible.
C. Setting the Film Speed
Using films with DX coding is recommended. In this case, the proper
film speed will be set by the camera automatically Film can be used
with ratings from ISO 25 to 3200. (Fig. 4)
Note:
For reversal (slide) film, please use ISO 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 1000
or 1600.
For films without DX coding, the camera is set automatically at ISO
25. Only use non DX film with an ISO 25 rating. However, if non-Dx
films with ratings of ISO 50 or 100 are used, the camera can be
adjusted for them by using the built-in exposure compensation system
(See page 50 in the Applied Use section for exposure compensation
instructions).
Please keep the camera's DX contact points and the DX information
panels on the film cartridges clean. (Fig. 5)
D. Loading a Film: Automatic Film Loading
The film should be carefully loaded into the camera, without being subjected to direct sunlight.
1 ) Turn the Main Power Switch to the "OFF" position.
2) Open the back cover by pushing the back cover release button in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 6)View original page 8Page 9 · Read text
3) Insert the film cartridge and pull out the film so that the trimmed
end lines up with the film tip mark. The length of film pulled out
shouldn't be either too short or too long against the position of the
film tip mark. If it was pulled out too much, adjust it by rewinding the
film back into the film cartridge so that the trimmed end lines up with
the film tip mark. Make sure that the film lies flat between the film
guides.
4) Close the back cover. (Fig. 7) The film will be advanced
automatically to the first frame. Turn the Main Power Switch to the
"ON" position and make sure the counter on the LCD panel shows
"1".
Note:
If the frame counter on the LCD panel is blinking "0" after the back
cover has been closed, it means that the film has not been loaded
correctly. Open up the back cover and insert the film correctly again.
With non-DX films or ISO 25 DX films, if the "0" remains lighted on the LCD panel after the back cover has
been closed, it also means that the film has not been loaded correctly Open up the back cover and insert the film
correctly again.
Always set the Main Power Switch to "OFF" while loading the film.
E. Holding the Camera
Hold the camera in such a way
that your elbow is securely
touching your body to ensure
camera steadiness and to avoid
the possibility of camera shake.
(Fig. 8)
Hold the camera so that your
fingers, the carrying strap etc.
will not cover any part of the
flash unit, lens, or the AF
measuring windows.
Gently press the shutter release button. When the telephoto lens is in use, be particularly careful to avoid any
camera movement.
When the camera is not in use, always return the Main Power Switch to the "OFF" position.View original page 9Page 10 · Read text

4) Flash Ready Signal
When the flash is fully charged, this
light will glow steadily. While the flash
is recharging, the same light will blink
until the flash recharging is completed.
5) AF OK signal
When blinking, this indicator warns that the camera-to-subject distance is too close for proper focus. The
camera shutter cannot be released in either the single or continuous shooting modes if this condition occurs.
6) Slow Shutter Speed Warning
When blinking, this indicator warns that the automatically selected shutter speed is too slow for non flash
photography or slow flash sync photography. When it glows steadily, the bulb exposure mode will be utilized
upon releasing the shutter. The flash will fire, even in the bulb mode, if the flash is in the open position. In both
instances, a tripod is suggested.

H. Auto focus Photography
The camera incorporates an auto focusing system combining both a TTL Passive AF and an Infrared Active
Multi AF systems: the Dual Mode Auto focusing System. Depending upon the subject situation, the optimum
AF system will be automatically selected for pin-point auto focusing accuracy.
1 ) Position the camera so that the subject is set within the auto focus
frame of the viewfinder. (Fig. 9)
2) Press the release button gently. The focus distance will be measured
and set automatically. Once the focus has been completed, the "AF OK"
mark in the viewfinder will light up and the subject in the viewfinder
will be visible in sharp detail. This is a visual confirmation that the
subject will be correctly focused in the picture. (Fig. 10)
3) When the camera-to-subject distance is too close, the AF OK mark in
the viewfinder frame will blink and the shutter release will be locked. In
this case, position the camera further away from the subject and focus
again. (Fig. 11 )View original page 11Page 12 · Read text
4) Once the AF OK mark is lighted and focus is visibly confirmed by
the viewfinder, press the shutter release button all the way down to take
the photograph.
(Fig. 12)
Note:
Since the TTL viewfinder enables a visible focusing confirmation, when your main subject is not sharply in
focus in the viewfinder, press the shutter release button halfway again for refocusing.
Never push or turn the lens as the camera's micro computer always detects and memorizes the exact position of
lens focusing each time the focusing is completed. If the lens is accidentally pushed or turned, turn off the
camera by sliding the Main Power Switch to "OFF" to initialize the camera's memory before shooting again.
If the camera-to-subject distance is closer than 85 cm (33.5 inches), the AF OK mark will blink and the shutter
release will be locked. The camera should then be positioned further away from the subject so that the picture
can be taken.
I. Multi Image Program Shooting (for basic snap shooting)
The camera utilizes a Multi Image Program shooting mode. By selecting either the Standard Image Program
Mode, Sport/Portrait Image Program Mode or the Landscape Image Program Mode, depending upon the subject
situation, an optimum composing angle will be automatically selected along with an optimum programmed
exposure setting.
The Following is the procedure for the Standard Image Program Mode which is designed for general picture
taking situations and provides the best results for snap shooting.View original page 12Page 13 · Read text
1) Press the Zoom Mode Button (Fig. 13) so that the LCD panel
shows the Auto Composing Mode ~ indication.
2) Press the Program AE select button. (Fig. 14) Each time that this
button is pressed the Program AE indication mark on the LCD panel
will change ( ~ ~ p ~ ~ ). Press the Program AE select button until
the LCD panel indicates P . (Fig. 15)
3) Look through the viewfinder and point the camera at the main
subject and gently press the shutter release button halfway. The
camera will then automatically compose the picture by zooming the
lens as well as precisely setting the focus. (Fig. 16)
4) Once the composing and focusing is completed, press the shutter release button all the way down to take the
picture.
Note:
For more details on Multi Image Program shooting, see the applied
use section (Page 30).
Never push or turn the lens as the camera's micro computer always
detects and memorizes the exact position of the lens each time the
focusing is completed. If the lens is accidentally pushed or turned,
turn off the camera by sliding the Main Power Switch to "OFF" to
initialize the camera's memory before shooting again.
The LCD indication will automatically disappear after 60 seconds
upon completion of picture taking. Pressing either the shutter
release button (half way), Zoom Select but ton, Drive button,
Program AE select button, Manual Zoom button or Flash button
will automatically reset the zoom lens to the Wide Angle Position
(38 mm) and the LCD indication will be activated again.View original page 13Page 14 · Read text
J. Shooting with Manual Power Zooming

on the LCD panel disappears. (Fig. 17)
2) Lens zooming can now be controlled by pressing the Manual
Zoom buttons (Tele or Wide) on top of the camera. (Fig. 18)
3) Look through the viewfinder and compose the picture by pressing the Manual Zoom buttons. Once the
desired picture composition is completed, press the shutter release button all the way down to take a picture.
(Fig. 19)
Note:
While in the Power Zoom Mode, any of the three Auto Exposure Mode Program can be selected by pressing the
Program AE select button, regardless of the lens focal length Setting.
When you wish to change from the Manual Zoom mode to the Multi Image Program Composing Mode, press
the Zoom button so that the Auto Composing Mode symbol ",.~.," appears on the LCD panel. (Fig. 20)View original page 14Page 15 · Read text
Turning the Main Power Switch to the "OFF" position and then back "ON" will also change the Manual Power Zoom mode to the Auto Composing Mode mode. The LCD indication will automatically disappear after 60 seconds upon completion of picture taking. Pressing either the shutter release button (half way), Zoom Select but ton, Drive button, Program AE Select button, Manual Zoom button or Flash button will automatically reset the zoom lens to the Wide Angle Position (38 mm) and the LCD K. Flash Photography The camera utilizes an Automatic Sensor Flash system which is designed to measure ambient light intensity and then activate and fire the built-in flash when needed. The sensor flash of the camera works automatically only when the flash is in the open position. (Fig. 21 ) 1 ) Slide across the flash button to pop up to the flash into its operating position. (Fig. 22) 2) Gently press the shutter release button half way. If the flash is necessary, the " " mark in the viewfinder lights up or blinks to signal that the automatic sensor flash mode is in operation. (Fig. 23) 3) If the " " mark lights up continually, it means the flash is fully charged and ready to fire. Press the shutter release button all the way down to take a flash picture. (Fig. 24)View original page 15
Page 16 · Read text
4) If the " " mark blinks, it means the flash is being charged. Flash charging takes approximately
4 seconds. Immediately upon completion of the flash charging, the " " mark will light up continually and
the camera will be ready for flash photography.
Note:
When the flash is in the closed position and the " " mark in the viewfinder blinks, the flash is needed.
Slide across the flash button to pop the flash up and then take the picture.
The flash can be charged even if the shutter release button is fully depressed. In this case, immediately upon
completion of the flash charging, the shutter will be released. Therefore, to avoid accidental exposures, it is
recommended that the shutter release button not be fully depressed during flash charging.

L. Automatic Film Rewinding
1 ) When the entire film cassette has been used, the film will automatically start to rewind within two to three
seconds
2) While the film is rewinding, the counter will count backwards. When the film is entirely rewound, the rewind
motor will stop automatically
3) Check the frame counter on the LCD panel to make certain that the film counter shows "E" before opening
the back cover. (Fig. 25)
If a film must be removed before it has been completely used, press the manual rewind button "em" located on
the side panel. Use a ball-point pen or a similar object which is not too sharp. Use only a light touch to initiate
the partial film rewinding. Too much pressure could cause internal damage to your camera. Rewinding will
begin automatically. (Fig. 26 )View original page 16Page 17 · Read text
Note:
After the film is rewound, if the frame counter still does not return to "E" but a number is blinking, press the
manual rewind button again.
A. Multi Image Program Composition Shooting
According to your photographic purpose and the desired image effect, select either the Standard Program Mode,
Sport/Portrait Program mode or Landscape Program mode. The camera will automatically compose the picture
and select an optimum exposure setting.
(1) Standard Composing Mode This mode is ideal for general picture taking. When this mode is chosen, the lens
focal length will be automatically controlled so that the main subject or subjects will always be within the
picture area. Since the standard program AE will always accompany this composing mode, it will maintain a
fast enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake while an adequate depth of field will also be implemented to
assure razor sharp pictures.
Set the camera for the desired Multi Image Program Mode by pressing the Zoom Mode button until the "
" mark appears on the LCD panel. Press the Program AE Select Button until the "P" mark appears on the LCD
panel. Partially depress the shutter release and the camera will automatically control the lens zooming and
exposure for general shooting occasions (snap shot photography). (Fig. 27)
(2) Landscape/Group Program Mode
This mode is ideal for scenery since the
picture will be composed with wider
focal length selections with an
automatic exposure setting that provides
greater depth of field. It is also ideal for
pictures of people in groups since the
camera will adjust the image size to
include everyone in the gathering.View original page 17Page 18 · Read text
Set the camera for the desired Multi Image Program Mode by pressing the Zoom Mode button so that the "my"
mark appears on the LCD panel. Press the Program AE Select Button until the " ~ " mark appears on LCD
panel. Partially depress the shutter release and the camera will automatically control the lens zooming and
exposure for landscape or group photographs. (Fig. 28)
(3) Sport/Portrait Program Mode + Auto Close up This mode is
designed for portrait or sports/action pictures. In this mode, the
camera will select an optimum lens focal length and exposure
setting emphasizing a greater telephoto magnification along with a
wider aperture and faster shutter speeds to better frame a portrait
image but also to increase the potential to freeze the motion and
reduce camera shake.
Set the camera for the desired Multi Image Program Mode by pressing the Zoom Mode button until the "
" mark appears on the LCD panel. Press the Program AE Select Button until the " " mark appears on the
LCD panel. Partially depress the shutter release, and the camera will automatically control the lens zooming and
exposure for portrait or sports photography (Fig. 29)
(3-1 ) Automatic Close-up Photography
In the Sport/Portrait Image Program Mode, when the subject is within 0.85 to 1 meter (33.5~--39.4") from the
camera, the Auto Close-up mode will be activated.
1) Set the camera for the Sport/Portrait Image Program mode. (Fig. 30)
2) Press and hold the TTL SPOT AF button. Look into the viewfinder and point the camera at the subject.
Gently press the shutter release button halfway to actuate the focus. If the camera-to-subject distance is within
the 0.85-1 meter (33.5"~39.4") range, the camera will automatically set the focal length for extreme telephoto
(110 mm) to emphasize the close-up effect.
(Fig. 31)View original page 18Page 19 · Read text
Note:
If the subject is not in the close-up distance range (0.85-1 meter, 33.5"--39.4"), the lens focal length will not be
set at the extreme telephoto (110 mm) position.
B. Memory Function
When the Main Power Switch is turned "OFF", the camera will automatically initialize itself and set the
Standard Image Program Mode with the normal program exposure setting when the power switch is turned to
"ON" again. If you always wish to use the camera with the Manual Power Zoom mode or an exposure program
other than the normal program AK, the desired mode can be memorized by the following process.
(1) Manual Power Zooming with a Specific Program AE Setting
1 ) Set the camera for the Manual Power Zoom mode by pressing the Zoom Mode button so that the " "
mark disappears from the LCD panel. (Fig. 32)
2) Select the preferred program AE by pressing the Program AE Select Button until the appropriate symbol

3) Press and hold the SPOT AF button and turn the Main Power Switch to "OFF". The Manual Power Zooming
Mode and the selected program AE mode have now been assigned as your standard shooting mode. (Fig. 34)
Once the memory process is completed, even when the camera is used in a shooting mode other than one placed
in memory, the memorized mode will always be recalled by turning the Main Power Switch to "OFF" and then
back to "ON".
(2) Portrait/Sport or Landscape Composing Modes
1) Set the camera for the Image Composing Mode by pressing the Zoom Mode Button so that the "3~ " mark
will appear on the LCD, panel. (Fig. 35)
2) Select the preferred Program AE by pressing the Program AE Select Button until the appropriate symbol for
the desired program exposure mode (" " for the Landscape Program AE or " " for the Portrait/Sport
Program AK) appears on the LCD Panel. (Fig. 36) '
3) Press and hold the SPOT AF button and turn the Main Power Switch to "OFF". The new Exposure Program
is now in the camera memory. (Fig. 37)View original page 19Page 20 · Read text
Note:
The Continuous Shooting Mode 16 can also be set into memory. Set the camera for the Continuous Shooting
Mode by pressing the DRIVE button. Press and hold the SPOT AF Button and slide the Main Power Switch to
"OFF". The Continuous Shooting Mode is in the camera's memory.
When you wish to modify the memorized mode, select the mode that you wish to change by pressing either the
Zoom Mode, DRIVE or Program AE Select Buttons and then slide the Main Power Switch to "OFF" while
pressing the Spot AF button. The newly selected mode will now replace the previous memory. (Fig. 38)

C. Auto Focus Modes (1) Dual Mode Auto focusing The camera incorporates a Dual Mode Auto focusing System which combines both TTL passive AF and Infrared Active AF Systems into one system. This system eliminates the inherent disadvantages of each AF system to permit virtually any subject to be properly focused under the widest possible variety of lighting conditions. Depending upon the subject situation and the lens focal length in use, the camera will automatically select an optimum AF system from either the Multi AF or TTL Passive AF systems. <Multi AF> The Multi AF system utilizes triple infrared beams which provide a wider focusing area instead of a single, central beam of a conventional infrared AF system. Therefore the Multi AF system eliminates the need for a focus lock even if the subject would be positioned off-center. In the Multi AF mode, the actual focusing area will be wider than the AF frame in the viewfinder. (Fig. 40) <TTL Passive AF System> The TTL Passive AF System is ideal for telephoto pictures that require increased focusing accuracy. In the TTL Passive AF System, the focusing area is precisely what the AF frame in the viewfinder covers. (Fig. 41 ) Note: Although the camera automatically selects the optimum AF system for each subject situation and shooting condition, if the viewfinder image on the main subject does not appear to be sharp upon completion of focusing, focus again by pointing the AF frame precisely on the main subject.View original page 21
Page 22 · Read text
(2) Spot AF Mode In the Spot AF Mode, the focusing area will be precisely what the AF frame in the viewfinder covers. 1 ) Point the AF frame in the viewfinder directly on the main subject. (Fig. 42) 2) Press and hold the Spot AF button and gently press the shutter release button halfway. (Fig. 43) 3) "The AF OK" LED in the viewfinder will light up in red and the focusing will be locked on the main subject. Once the focusing is locked on the main subject, the focusing will be locked as long as the shutter release button is halfway pressed, even if your finger is lifted from the Spot AF button. 4) Gently press the shutter release button fully to take a picture. (Fig. 44) Note: When the "AF OK" LED blinks, it means the camera-to-subject distance is too close. The camera should then be positioned further away from the main subject to allow focusing to be completed. Center-weighted Spot AE metering will only be effected if the picture is taken while the Spot AF Button is pressed. (3) Focus Lock (Prefocus) and Cancellation When the main subject is located "off-center" in the viewfinder, or when it is difficult to focus on the subject, the focus lock is invaluable. (Fig. 45) 1 ) Look into the viewfinder and point the auto focus frame on the center of the subject that is to be in focus. Gently press the shutter release button and confirm that the "AF OK" LED in the viewfinder lights up. (Fig. 46) 2) Without losing tension on the shutter release button, recompose the picture in the viewfinder and then take the photograph by pressing the shutter release button all the way down.
