17. HOLDING THE CAMERA
                          To prevent camera shake, be sure to hold the camera cor-
                                    rectly when shooting.
                            Support the camera on the palm of your left hand so as
                          you can turn the focusing ring with your fingers. (Fig. 30)


                            With your right hand lightly grasp the grip and place your
                             index finger lightly over the Shutter Button. When press-
                                  ing the Shutter Button, grasp the grip firmly. Place your el-
                          bows against your body when shooting with the camera in
                           a horizontal position, or place your left elbow against your
                            body when shooting with the camera in a vertical position.
                               (Fis.31)
                              Fis' 31    Place your forehead against the camera and look through
                              the viewfinder.

                         18. SHOOTING
                            1. Press the Shutter Button halfway. (Fig. 32)
                        * A display will appear at the bottom, inside the viewfin-
                                       der.
                        * The Shutter Button can be pressed in two ways. lf it is
                              pressed halfway, the LCD Panel display and the view-
                                     finder display will appear.  lf it is fully pressed, the shut-
                                        ter will be released.
                        *    lf the camera is not operated for about 10 seconds, the
                                   display insides the viewfinder will disappear. By press-
                                   ing the shutter release button half way the display will
                         Fig.32         appear.
                          2. Confirm that the viewfinder display has appeared.
                                  (Fis.33)
                           The viewfinder display should be as shown in the illus-
                                        tration. The "P" mark indicates that it is set to Program
                       AE Mode. The number on the left of the "P" mark is the
                                 shutter speed. The number on the right side is the
                                 aperture setting.
                                                                       lf the camera is not operated for approximately 30 sec-
                               onds, he display on the LCD panel will disappear. By
                                pressing the Shutter Button halfway, the display  will
                                reappear.
                       When a slow shutter speed has been set, use a tripod
                                     to prevent camera shake.

         19. FOCUSING
          Focusing is achieved with the Split image focusing, the
          Microprism focusing or the Matte screen focusing in the
            viewfinder. The type of focusing depends on the subject
         and the lens being used. (Fig.34,35)


Fig.34





Fig. 35
          1. While looking through the viewfinder, focus by turning
              the Focusing Ring. (Fig.36)




         2. Press the Shutter Button. (Fig.37)
         * The film is wind on when the shutter is released.

         Types of Focusing
          1. Split image
        The area inside of the center circle is the split image.
        When both images in the split image spot form a single,
Fis' 37    clear image, the subject is in focus.
         2. Microprism
         The area inside the outer circle is the microprism. When
           the subject loses its shimmering appearance, the subject
              is in focus.
         3. Matte screen
       The area outside the microprism  is the matte screen.
        When the image loses its blurred appearance, the subject
               is in focus.
         * When you use a small aperture (high aperture value)
              with a lens such as a zoom lens, half of the split image
           becomes dark. In this case, use the matte screen to
              focus.

                       24. SHOOTING MODES
                        The 4 shooting modes are the Program AE Mode, Shutter
                                   Priority AE Mode, Aperture priority AE Mode and Manual
                          Mode.
                         Program AE Mode
                        The camera automatically selects the shutter speed and
                             aperture according to the subject illumination. This mode
                                   is ideal for general photography of people and scenery.
                       You can also change the shutter speed and the aperture
                                setting combination in this mode (See "Program Shift" on
                                 P.27).
                              Shutter Priority AE Mode
                       You can select the shutter speed setting and the correct
                             aperture will automatically be set.
                    You may wish to set a high shutter speed when, for
                           example, shooting a still picture of a moving subject. A
                         slow shutter speed will emphasize the movement of a
                         moving subject.
                     You may also wish to set a high shutter speed to avoid
                         handshake when using a telephoto lens.
                            Aperture Priority AE Mode
                       You can select the aperture setting and the camera will
                              automatically set the correct shutter speed.
                      The aperture priority function is ideal for increasing the
                                  depth-of-field. For example, in a portrait photograph, you
                         can use a wide aoerture to create an out of focused back-
                         ground and emphasize the subject, or in a landscape
                           photo you can focus a wide area by setting a small aper-
                                     ture.
                         Manual Mode
                                       Yo,., can freely select the shutter speed and aperture set-
                                       ting.
                         They can be set according to the subject and shooting    {

         The Program AE Mode is set when the display is as shown
             in the illustration, and the lens aperture is set to "P" (or
             "A"). By pressing the Shutter Button halfway, the "P" mark
              will be displayed inside the viewfinder. (Fig. aB)

          1. Press the green Reset Button to set the shutter speed
                 to AUTO.
                         OR

         Program Graph
        When the Program AE mode has been set, the camera
          automatically sets the correct combination of shutter
         speed and aperture, as shown in the graph.
         *  This graph willvary depending on the lens.

         Program Shift
         Even if the camera is set to Program AE, you can freely
         change the shutter speed and aperture settings. The pro-
        gram shift allows you to change the combination of the
           shutter speed and aperture without changing the expo-
            sure.
          This function allows you to use functions similar to the
           Shutter priority AE and Aperture priority AE without having
            to change from Program AE Mode.

        when the aperture is set to F5.6 and shutter speed is set
