       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.

    Compose subject in the viewfinder and then aim

    This automatic exposure compensation can also be               Fig22

      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
