4. GREEN/RED LAMPS 5. ORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHY When you de- press the shut- Iv to AF O ter release button halfway, the lamps 0 and/or 0 light up or blink as shown at left. • Green lamp: When the subject is in focus, it will light up to indicate that you can take the picture; when the subject is not in focus, it will blink, indicating that you cannot take the pic- ture because the camera-tosubject distance is too close. • Red lamp: When the flash is ready to discharge, it will light up. When the flash is being charged, it will blink. Notes: • If the subject is too close, the green lamp blinks. Adjust the camera-to-subject distance so that the green lamp lights continuously, then release the shutter. • If the subject is even closer (approx. 30cm), the green lamp may light continuously. When the power is switched on by depressing the main switch button, the camera automatically selects the Auto and Single-Frame Shooting modes and the exposure counter indication remains on even if the main switch is turned off. These modes are used for taking ordinary pictures. The built-in flash will discharge automatically when the subject is poorly illuminated. • When the LCD panel displayed is different from the one shown above (which indicates the other modes are set), switching power OFF and then ON restores the Auto and Single-Frame Shooting modes. * When the built-in flash automatically discharges, the camera uses the shutter speed approx. 1/40th sec. (when ISO100 film is used). 11
