11. Alternative Flash Ooeratinq Mode
    When a subject in shadow 6r shade or is highly backlit, the automatic
      flash will not "read" that light is insufficient for optimum picture result.
      You can override the automatic system by covering the Exposure
     Sensor (5) with your finger. However, you must take care that your
      fingers do not obstruct the Flash (6), Auto Focus Windows (3) or Lens
        (e).
       observe that the Picture Ready Light (13) is on before releasing the
      shutter and taking the Picture.

         Button is removed and the Readv Lioht comes on.
13. Special Auto Focus Situations
    The auto focus system will focus accurately on the majority of the
     sublects you wish to photograph. However, there are a few situarrons
    where the auto focus mechanism may nol function properly. These are:
     1) When the subject has strong reflexions, such as polished metals,
         exterior of automobiles, bodies of water, or mirrors.
    2) subjects with little or no reflectance, such as black obiects, hair, a
         flame, or smoke.
    3) Subjects that are very small.
    4) subjects with an object in front of them, such as a wire net or cage.
          In situations 1-4, focus on another subject approximately the same
        distance away, activate focus lock, recompose the scene and take
        the picture. (See Section i2 on "Auto Focus Lock",)
    5) Taking pictures through glass windows

        approximately 20.

    rewinding is complete and the motor has stopped, open the Film Door
   and remove the film cartridge from the chamber. The Rewind Switch
