2  Loading  the Battery
Two 5-76, A-76, or G-13 batteries are employed for
th is cam era.
 1. The battery chamber cover can be opened by
turning it counterclockwise with a coin.
2. Load the batteris correctly according to the
indication of the polarities in the battery chamber.
(lf the batteries are loaded incorrectly with the
reverse polarities,the LED in the viewfinder does
nct light )                                                                           Fig.33. Turn tightly the battery chamber cover clockwise.





                                                                                  Fig.4

Be carefulnot to contaminatethe surfaceof the batterieswith sweat or oil when loading
the batteries.lf contaminatedbatteriesare loaded,it causesan improper contact.When
the batteriesare contaminated,wipe off the dirts with dry cloth.
Unloadthe batterieswhen the camera is not used for a long period.
The batieriesshould last for approximatelyone year under normal use.When the camera
has been used over one year, replacethe old batterieswith new one.

When the camera is focused at certaindistance,there
 are the rangesfor taking the subjectsclearly in the
 pictUreon both sidesof the distance.This ranges'are
 calledthe "depth-of-field'.'
Thereare followingrelationshipsin the depth of field:
 1. When the apertureis reduced(2 to 16),the depth
 of field is increasedto increasethe rangesfor taking
 the sceneclearlyin the picture.
 2. When takingfarther scene,the depth of field is
 increasedlonger.
 3. Wider anglelensof short focal lengthprovideslonger

 4. The rear range f rom the focused distanceof the
camera provideslonger depth of field than the front
 range from the distance.
You can know the depth of field as below.
 1. A depth-of-fieldscaleis engravedon the respectivelenses.When the camerais,for example,
 focusedon a subjectat the distance,e.9.,3m with the aperture set at f/8, the subjects
 locatedwithin8 at both sidesof the "1" mark (approx 2m in the front range and approx.5m
 in the rear range)are sharp and clear.
