4. LOOKINGTHROUGHVIEWFINDER
In outdoor photography during the daytime, the Konica C35-
EFP takes sharp pictures of all subjects from 5 feet (1.5 meter)
to infinity.
When you depress the shutter
release button slowly, and a red
light appears in the viewfinder, it
signals that there is not enough
light for a good exposure. You
should now use the Konica
C35-EFP's built-in "pop-up" elec-
tronic flash to continue your pic-
ture taking.
The bright frame visible in the viewfinder is the actual area of
your pictures. When taking close-up pictures between 5-8 feet
(1 .5-2.4 meter), use the smaller bright frame marked "Parallax
CompensationMarks".
