Most of unsharp picures are caused by camera-shake. ln order to take good pictures you
should hold the camera steadily. Press your elbows to yourbody and depress the shutter
release button softly.
Value a shutter chance
Natural and vivid expression or action may never come again, therefore a shutter chance
is very impcrtant. For snapshot on f ine day you should just previously set the
focusing-ring at hl (3m), so that the scene from 2m to infinity could be always sharp.
You can, then, concentrate yourself on the shutter chance.

A person who is standing in front of bright back
ground will look dimly lighted as in silhouette in
the photo, if you release the shutter without doing Fis21
the following procedure.
Compose subject in the viewfinder and then aim
camera downward to avoid the strong back light.
Depress the shutter release button halfway down
to hold the meter needle reading. Lift camera up to
the original position and continue to press the
shutter release button rest of the way down to
shoot the compensated exposure.
This automatic exposure compensation can also be Fig22
made by taking a very close reading of the subject.
Close to the subject, so close as no backlight visible
in viewfinder, and depress the shutter release
button halfway down and step back, keeping the
button partially depressed. Compose the subject
and release the shutter. (EView original page 15Page 16 · Read text

l) avvenreruzE D'uso
runrureNrMrENTo I Do not leave the camera exposed direct to the sun for long time or in a car parking under
the sun. Or it will effect badly to the sensitivity of film, battery and function of camera.
Shock, moisture and salinity may cause defect of camera. Please handle the camera
gently and patronize it so long.
Put the lens-cap on the lens, when the camera is not in use.
When you do not use the strobe-flash for long time, you should sometimes put batteries
in and lighten the flash to aboid a deterioration of the chemical condenser.
When the meter needle does not come up from the red zone though the camera is aimed
to a bright place, the battery has been weakened. Change batteries.
With fresh batteries the flashing interval is 5 - 7 seconds and it will become longer and longer. lf it takes longer than 30 seconds, the batteries have been weakened. Change
batteries.
Bad contact may occur if the batteries are dirty with perspiration or oil. Clean them with
dry cloth before inserting them to the compartments.
lf the camera is not in use for long time, the batteries should have been taken out from
camera.
It is better to prepare spare batteries when you go to long trip.

PETITS CONSEILS
La plupart des photos floues sont dues au "boug6" au moment du ddclenchement. Pour
de bons rdsultats, l'appareil doit €tre tenu fermement en serrant les coudes contre votre
corps et le ddclenchement trds souple.
Pour avoir toutes les chances de ne pas fnanguer un sujet ou une situation qui a peu de
chance de ce reprdsenter, par une belle journ6e ensoleill6e, laisser en permanence la
bague de mise au point sur.position &l (3ml la profondeur de champs sera de 2m d
l'inf ini.

Lorsque l'indicateur de la cellule reste dans la zone rouge alors que l'appareil est dirig6
vers une trds forte lumidre, il est n6cessaire de changer la pile de la cellule.
Avec un jeu de piles neuves, I'intervalle entre les 6clairs du flash sont d'environ 5 d 7
secondes. Si cet intervalle atteint 3O secondes, il est n6cessaire de changer les piles qui
sont trop faibles. La transpiration ou les poussidres peuvent altdrer les contacts. ll est
n6cessaire de les nettoyer avec un chiffon propre avant de les gl isser dans le
compartiment.
